On Friday, a judge partially granted a limited restraining order for King Soopers against the union representing striking workers in Colorado.

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 union and King Soopers have been at a standstill over contract negotiations since January. The United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7 called for a two-week strike starting in the metro Denver area on Feb. 6 against the Colorado grocery brand operated by Kroger.
