A municipal collective bargaining law in Colorado has been described as effectively permitting union busting. Colorado Newsline reported on the law’s passage, noting that it expands municipal bargaining rights in a way that critics say undermines workers’ protections.
Labor organizers and activists have expressed concern for several years about the Worker Protection Act, a separate piece of legislation aimed at safeguarding workers. The new law’s provisions have intensified worries that union activities could be curtailed under municipal agreements.
