Members of Teamsters Local 455 in Denver returned to work Sunday following a 10-day strike at a distribution center operated by Supervalu on behalf of Kroger Co.
Union members agreed to a new five-year contract May 5 and went back to work two days later after striking at the Advantage Logistics facility on April 27.
Representatives of the Teamsters could not be reached for comment.
“We believe the new agreement provides our employees with a fair economic package while also supporting our distribution center’s business goals," according to Supervalu. "We can now return our focus at the DC to fully supporting our customers and stores going forward.”
Details of the agreement were not available, though press reports indicate the new wage package comes close to narrowing the $2.57 an hour pay gap with Advantage employees at a facility in Aurora, Colo.
During the strike a union spokesman told SN delivery trucks were crossing the picket lines because they use non-union drivers. 

During the strike Advantage was operating the warehouse with managers, supervisors and employees from across the company, local reports said, and the company held a job fair on May 4 to hire temporary warehouse workers.
Representatives of Kroger could not be reached for comment on whether the strike had any impact on the 329 stores serviced by the Advantage facility, encompassing Kroger, King Soopers and City Markets in Colorado and five surrounding states.
Advantage Logistics and the union began negotiations in February on a contract that expired April 23. The 303-member union authorized the strike after rejecting the company’s final contract offer.
