Strike ends at 78 Kroger-owned grocery stores in Denver
CNN
Nearly 8,000 workers at 78 King Soopers and City Market grocery stores in Colorado will return to work starting Friday, after union leaders and management reached a tentative three-year work agreement.
The strike, which began January 12, was the nation's second-largest in the last two years — behind only a five-week work stoppage by 10,000 auto workers at John Deere that ended in November.
The Kroger (KR)-owned stores remained open during the strike, using management, temporary workers and employees brought in from stores outside of the Denver area. It started after union leadership rejected the company's offer to replace a recently expired contract.

As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid, President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government shutdown.
