Tens of millions of workers say they want to join a union but don’t know how or fear retaliation for doing so. This bill represents a critical step forward in modernizing Colorado’s labor laws by eliminating the outdated and burdensome second election requirement — a provision that undermines workers’ rights to unionize and negotiate for better working conditions. Current policies create unnecessary hardships for Coloradans who simply want the opportunity to advocate for themselves and their families. Passing the Worker Protection Act is not only a matter of economic justice but also a declaration of Colorado’s commitment to the dignity of work and the rights of its workforce.
