The Colorado AFL-CIO will stop donating to the state Democratic Party for at least the next year, according to the union branch’s head.
Executive Director Dennis Dougherty claimed Democrats “excluded” the union from policy discussions and said their prioritization of business input on legislation over workers prompted the decision to withhold campaign contributions until mid-May 2022.
“We have … been excluded from caucus discussions about policy creation in favor of bringing business and opposition groups to the table, disregarded as allies and relegated to afterthoughts,” Dougherty
told fellow union leaders in a letter. “Working people are the heart and soul of the economy and the key to a well-functioning society and should be the first group to be consulted as we repair the past, recover from the pandemic and build back stronger.”

The lawmaker who last year helped state employees earn the ability to form unions for purpose of collective bargaining is now looking to expand that right to every public employee in the state.
That would include anyone employed by cities, counties, school, library or fire districts, public colleges or universities, or the office of the state public defender, according to an April 6 working draft obtained by Colorado Politics. Â
House Majority Leader Daneya Esgar, D-Pueblo, who sponsored the 2020 state employee union bill, is sponsoring the legislation to give public employees a say in workplace conditions. They should be allowed to have that conversation, and this bill gives them an avenue to have those conversations, she said.Â
