TODAY: Colorado Worker Rights United to Host Worker Rights Event
Seeking to protect and expand worker rights this legislative session
DENVER – Hundreds of workers, union activists, business owners and grassroots organization leaders involved with Colorado Worker Rights United will announce efforts to protect and expand worker rights today at noon in the Colorado Capitol’s west foyer. The group will stand up against any attacks on farmworkers, tipped workers and any other workers in the state – and will support the 2026 Worker Protection Act.
When billionaire-backed corporations and the politicians who listen to them benefit from a system that keeps workers quiet, keeps wages low and makes it incredibly hard to form a union, corporate profits soar but leave families struggling with higher and higher costs. Unions are a key way to address the affordability crisis because when workers can stand together, wages go up, workplaces get safer, and families have a real chance to live and thrive in Colorado.
