Colorado

In Colorado, and across the nation, Americans are facing the most important issues of our time. Having a voice in the political system and in government is crucial. 

The basic workplace rights that Americans enjoy today have been championed by organized labor for more than 100 years.

Without the political efforts of unions, American workers would not have a right to a minimum wage, a forty-hour week, overtime pay, worker's compensation, unemployment insurance, or the right to form and join unions. Unions have been at the forefront of the fight to make workplaces safer and to ensure that no one will be discriminated against at work because of their race, ethnicity, or gender.

The USW remains politically active because there are organized interests in Colorado and the United States that want to dilute or eliminate the rights workers have established over the last century of struggle.
