U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders urges Coloradans to contact Governor Jared Polis to support the repeal of the Labor Peace Act. Senate Bill 005, which would eliminate a requirement of the act, is supported by labor unions but opposed by business groups. Polis has stated he will only sign a bill endorsed by both sides. Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently visited Colorado to promote the bill. The final bill has passed the Senate and is awaiting approval in the House before reaching the governor’s desk. Union leaders believe the bill is crucial for a worker-driven agenda, while business groups argue it will deter companies from moving to Colorado. Discussions between the groups are ongoing, and it remains to be seen whether any changes will be made to the bill before it is signed into law. Sanders encourages supporters to contact Polis’ office and get involved in the process. The fate of the bill remains uncertain as it moves through the legislative process.
