These are the locations in Denver area where grocery store workers will strike starting Thursday

By Maddie Rhodes | KDVR-TV Fox 31 News After months of attempted negotiations between King Soopers and its employees, the union announced that 77 Denver metro and Front Range stores, about 10,000 union employees, will go on strike starting Thursday. Since October, King Soopers and union employees have worked on negotiations and met over 10 times but never reached a deal. After months of unresolved conflict, their contract extension expired in January, removing the no-strike clause. Soon after, several stores in the Denver metro and Front Range voted to strike. “For months the employer failed to respond in any way to the union’s requests for information on data that relates to pricing and staffing. Some information was provided starting in January, but it is still inadequate,”...

Colorado’s own Flatiron Freddy also made his Groundhog Day prediction

By  Jacob Factor | KDVR-TV Fox 31 News The buzz for Groundhog Day may be all about Punxsutawney Phil, but Colorado has its own weather-predicting rodent: Flatiron Freddy. Hailing from Boulder, dapper-dressed stuffed marmot Flatiron Freddy has made winter predictions for more than 12 years, usually showing up in style to the celebration: skiing down a trail, driving a car out of his burrow, and even by zip line in a canoe. This year, Punxsutawney Phil made his own prediction for winter after he saw his shadow: six more weeks of winter. Flatiron Freddy also concurred with the Pennsylvania groundhog when he too saw his shadow Sunday morning at the Chautauqua Ranger Cottage. READ THE FULL STORY AT KDVR-TV FOX 31 NEWS
