King Soopers has filed for a temporary restraining order against union workers, accusing picketers of harassing customers amid a strike across 77 Denver metro grocery stores. FOX31’s Gabby Easterwood spoke with Bryan Kuhn,

King Soopers workers joined a union strike in Pueblo on Feb. 7, but that does not include pharmacy workers who are represented by a different union.

King Soopers says it's an issue of customer safety. The union says it's an attempt to silence and intimidate picketers.

The two-week labor stoppage has begun in Denver-area stores. Pueblo stores start will join on Friday. See the list of impacted stores and pharmacies.

King Soopers said they were working to file a temporary restraining order as strikes continue throughout Colorado.

From Speer to the southern 'burbs, we were always excited to find what was in store. But until the picketing ends — no more.

With a strike underway in several Front Range communities, King Soopers has sued the labor union that represents thousands of its employees.

King Soopers is seeking a temporary restraining order (TRO) in order to “protect the well-being of everyone” during an unfair labor practice strike that began in February.
