We have been fighting hard for better workplace protections for our co-workers and a better future for everyone we serve! It has never been easy, but we are remaining steadfast. BCEU is united, strong, and ready to stand up for our people! We are stronger together! We will see you soon.

We are asking for increased layoff notice, increased recall rights, severance, and alternatives to layoff. The county will not budge.

Additionally, the county must make millions of dollars in cuts over the coming years. They laid off over 50 members of our bargaining unit last year, with little notice and almost no empathy.

Recently, Boulder County has been unwilling to negotiate protections for immigrant workers. They crossed out every single word of our proposal for an immigrant protection article and stated, "We do not believe this is subject to negotiations." We will not stand for this!

BCEU has been negotiating our first contract for the last 10 months. Boulder County management has been committed to giving our unit as few protections as possible. We need our people to show up now so we can let the commissioners know what is important to us.

... I needed someone to demonstrate genuine humanity and compassion for me—in all my personal and systemic challenges—not to look away. I'll always fight for equity and dignity for those who've been overlooked, because we all deserve to be seen and supported."

Donaven says, "I want the 2026 budget to reflect true equity among staff, not just in numbers, but in fiscal and practical care of our members. As a queer, Black, and disabled worker who was demoted without a formal evaluation or any attempt to see me in my experiences (continues on next slide) ...

Prioritize people. Loree says, "We're asking the commissioners to stop cutting from the people who hold this county together, fund our pay fairly, match bilingual pay at 5% and protect longevity for those who served Boulder County for years."

Join us for our first Boulder County Employees Union Happy Hour!
 We’ll share a few quick updates on what’s happening with bargaining, but mostly it’s a chance to ask questions, meet folks, and enjoy some casual time together. #BCEU #CWA
