Coloradans have long relied on the Labor Peace Act, a law that has been in place for over 80 years. However, Senate Bill 5 is currently under consideration by lawmakers and could potentially alter this longstanding legislation. The bill proposes to remove the requirement for a second vote by employees when establishing a 'union security' agreement at their workplace. This change would mandate non-union employees to pay union fees.
The existing two-vote system enjoys broad support among Coloradans, as it ensures strong backing from workers before such agreements are established. Many believe it is essential to maintain the Labor Peace Act in Colorado to safeguard small businesses and ensure the state's future competitiveness.
"Coloradans have benefitted from the Labor Peace Act for more than 80 years," an unnamed source stated. "It is critical to preserve the Labor Peace Act in the state of Colorado to protect small businesses and the state’s competitiveness in the future."
