Union Status

Colorado is not a right-to-work state but has a modified right-to-work law. It specifies stringent requirements for inclusion of mandatory union membership in collective bargaining agreements. As a result, actual union membership may be slightly lower than persons covered by collective bargaining agreements. This modified status is unique in the nation.
