Different cultures. Different histories. One community. That’s why we say Latin. “Hispanic” refers to the Spanish language or Spanish heritage, but not all Latin people are Hispanic. This Latin Heritage Month, we celebrate the diversity of our union and state workforce ❤️

Right now, a state worker making $50k a year pays the same income tax rate as multi-billion dollar corporations like Target and Walmart. You can help fix that by voting YES on Amendment 87, which lowers the income tax rate for all of us earning less than $500k a year. ProtectColoradosFuture.com

We're reflecting on our collective power. 20 yrs ago, state workers didn't have bargaining rights or a contract. Today, we have a contract, 5 side agreements, and are about to negotiate our 1st side agreements with CDLE & CDOT. Happy #LaborDay from your state workers union!

Our DHS bargaining team worked hard to negotiate their new contract. Stronger anti-bullying language to ensure management is held to the same standards as employees improves work culture and increased uniform stipends leaves us with more money in our pockets! #unionstrong

For DOC workers like Zach, our new side agreement provides relief during a staffing crisis. Workers can volunteer to be placed lower on the mandatory overtime list. They can now spend more time with loved ones, actually rest in between shifts, and make time for themselves.
