Stores in Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Greeley and Longmont will hold strike-authorization votes tonight and tomorrow morning.
On Monday, workers at more Safeway stores went on strike, demanding better pay, benefits, and staffing levels.
The union representing Safeway store employees in Colorado has given the required 72-hour notice that the strike is set to begin one minute before midnight on Sunday.
Safeway workers in several Colorado cities entered the third day of labor strikes Tuesday against Safeway and Albertsons over alleged unfair labor practices, with picketing in Grand Junction prompting a temporary store closure.
The union said the strikes were due to unfair labor practices and an “understaffing crisis.” The union said it has given a 72-hour notice to Safeway and Albertsons, and strikes could begin as early as Sunday morning.
