Polis Vetoes Union Bill Again

Colorado Governor Jared Polis just vetoed a second time a bill that would’ve made union organizing easier by lowering the threshold for union security votes from 75% to a lower number — a move labor groups say undermines worker democracy while business leaders applaud. Though lawmakers passed it anyway, Polis warned the issue will keep resurfacing, creating uncertainty. The bill’s push, echoing a 2007 veto, was likely designed to keep the debate alive for the next governor — though neither of Polis’s Democratic challengers has committed to changing the rule. Meanwhile, Polis signed a separate bill protecting civil rights for kids with disabilities in schools, but raised concerns about its funding model, arguing core government functions shouldn’t depend on grants and donations.
