A Denver District Court judge on Friday rejected most of King Soopers' request for a temporary restraining order as a strike against the company enters its second week. District Judge Sarah B. Wallace did impose some restrictions on how employees can behave on picket lines, saying certain conduct could pose safety risks.

The start of a two-week-long strike by thousands of Colorado King Soopers workers meant people on the picket lines and shoppers either choosing to cross those lines or avoiding King Soopers in favor of other grocery stores.

King Soopers grocery workers in the Denver metro area are going back on strike this week, three years after the 2022 strike.
