By the way I know some are confused, a vote no leaves it as a pro-union state, a vote yes means we are back to a right to work state.
Colorado has never been a "Right to Work State". Unions and business have successfully worked within the framework of the "Labor Peace Act" of 1943 for the past 65 years. In 2007 HB-1072, a bill which would have made it easier for unions to organize in Colorado was passed by both the House and the Senate where it was then VETOED by Governor Bill Ritter, nothing changed. The Labor Peace Act has provided Colorado with a balance between business and labor for the last 65 years. The "Right to Work" amendment would change that.
