Some shoppers are choosing not to cross the picket lines at the King Soopers stores where union workers are on strike.

The union says 10,000 King Soopers employees across more than 70 stores in the metro could be impacted. Among those employees is Chris Lacey, a service manager at a Littleton King Soopers store.

Unionized King Soopers workers in Broomfield, Boulder and Louisville will join their fellow United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7 members from around the Denver metro area in a two-week strike beginning at 5 a.
