159: The Communication Breakdown Eroding Trust in the Colorado Public Defender System w/Kiyomi Bolick, Mike Kubicek, and Oliver Rose Katz

Last year, Hunter spoke with members of the newly formed Defenders Union of Colorado (DUC) to discuss their reason for unionization and the challenges facing all employees of Colorado Public Defense. Today, Hunter is once again speaking with DUC, but this time, they discussed the complete failure of leadership to be transparent with them and how that is eroding trust between the two.   Guests: Kiyomi Bolick, Long Time Colorado Public Defender and a Founding Organizer of DUC Mike Kubicek, Investigator, Durango Office of the Public Defender Oliver Rose Katz, Administrative Assistant, Brighton Office of the Public Defender Resources: Colorado Public Defenders Raise Concern over Pay https://www.denverpost.com/2023/05/17/colorado-public-defenders-pay-petition-union-16-million/ Follow DUC on Twitter https://twitter.com/DefenderUnionCO Follow DUC on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/defenders_union_of_colorado/ Colorado Public Defender https://www.coloradodefenders.us/     Contact Hunter Parnell: [email protected]  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN
