Colorado Worker Rights United

Colorado should be where families can afford rent, food, and healthcare. And where workers can hope to retire in dignity. We're reintroducing legislation so workers can form strong unions and make it possible. Join us for the launch 🕐Jan 8th at 12PM 📍Colorado State Capitol

Who will stand with us? The Dropkick Murphys came to Denver and jammed with workers fighting for their right to unionize. Let's stand together for better pay, better benefits and the right to unionize! Your fight is our fight! Pass the #WorkerProtectionAct! #COPolitics

Thanks for fighting, Phil. While you're at it, our state's authoritative labor laws are threatening the voting rights of Coloradans by requiring workers to win TWO elections to form strong unions. As governor, would you remove that extra election requirement? #copolitics

@MichaelBennet Will you defend the voting rights of workers who are forced to hold TWO elections to form a strong union due to our rigged labor laws? Will pass legislation that repeals that second election? Unless some elections are more important to you than others? #copolitics

Today, JBS workers voted by 99% to authorize an unfair labor practice strike. The message to JBS is clear: negotiate fairly for a contract that gives workers the dignity they deserve!

Still waiting on this one @GovofCO "As governor, you will have no bigger champion for the rights of workers to organize than myself." - Literally you in 2018🫣

An unbelievable take from the Wall Street Journal.

After billions of dollars have been blown on autonomous vehicles (AVs), one thing is now clear: it took hundreds of thousands of years for the human mind to evolve into the greatest computer in the universe, and it cannot and will not be re-created in five, 10, or even 20 years by AI. Read more about how AV companies are overselling their abilities and why the Teamsters — and the labor movement as a whole — must remain vigilant in fighting Big Tech’s efforts to eviscerate our livelihoods: justcauseteamsters.substack.com/p/av-companies…

Happening tomorrow! 🚨

.@govofco vetoed SB5. But we're not backing down. In 2026, we're bringing a "just cause" ballot initiative to protect Colorado workers from unjust termination by preventing employers from firing without a documented reason. #coleg Full release: seiu105.info/wpaveto

"While this veto is a setback, it’s not the end of the road—it’s the beginning of the next phase," said Dennis Dougherty, Executive Director of @AFLCIOCO. "Working people are taking this fight directly to the ballot in 2026..." #copolitics Statement: coloradoworker.org/wpa-veto

"Instead of standing with the people who make this state run, the governor sided with billionaires. [...] we need leadership from people who stand shoulder-to-shoulder with workers..." - Ben Ullrich, former worker at Stranahan’s Distillery. Statement: coloradoworker.org/wpa-veto

"Nurses, janitors, caregivers, and service workers across Colorado won’t forget, and we’re just getting started. Governor Polis may have caved to corporate pressure today, but workers are building a movement that he can’t veto." coloradoworker.org/wpa-veto

"[@GovofCO] is now the only Democratic governor in the country defending a ‘right to work’ policy that undermines worker freedom and shields corporate power." - Stephanie Felix-Sowy, leader of Colorado Worker Rights United and @SEIU105 president

All workers deserve a fair shot at joining a union. Gov. Polis, our entire labor movement is watching: Honor your commitment to workers by modernizing CO’s outdated labor laws.
