US EditionColorado Legislature approves collective bargaining bill
- The Colorado Legislature approved Senate Bill 25-005 on Tuesday to eliminate the 80-year-old election requirement before unions can negotiate fees on non-union workers.
- The bill seeks to remove the requirement for a 75% 'yes' vote in a second election at unionized workplaces, with advocates citing excessive barriers to union security agreements.
- Governor Jared Polis has opposed the bill without a business-labor compromise and has until June 6 to sign, veto, or let it become law without his signature.
- The bill passed 43-22 on largely party-line votes, with business groups warning it would compel non-union workers to pay union fees, calling this "taxation without representation."
- The proposal's future remains uncertain as ongoing negotiations failed to produce a deal, and its outcome could influence Colorado’s collective bargaining processes.
