Shopping at Safeway might mean crossing a picket line in Northern California this weekend. Thousands of Safeway workers are poised to go on strike Saturday, if the company and local unions don’t reach a labor agreement Friday evening.

The union said it is pushing for higher wages, funding for health care and pension benefits and scheduling provisions.

The union says every Safeway store from Bakersfield, north to the Oregon border could see picket lines this weekend if an agreement isn't reached with Safeway's parent company, Albertsons.
