NO, COLORADANS DON'T WANT TO CHANGE LABOR LAW In Colorado we've been living under labor laws that were settled decades ago after violent labor strikes. One of those laws requires two votes for unionization. The first requires a simple majority to form a union, but the second requires a supermajority in order for unions to take dues from EVERYONE, even if they don't want to belong to the union. Now the Democrats are trying to do away with that second vote, and they are diametrically opposed to what most Coloradans think. I've got Rachel Beck, Executive Director of the Colorado Competitive Council joining me to talk about the results of their survey, but here are the high points:

70% of voters oppose the removal of the second vote, including 46% who strongly oppose the changes. Only 25% support removing the second vote. 67% of voters oppose mandatory deductions of labor union dues from workers’ paychecks, regardless of their union membership status. Only 27% support mandatory dues deductions. Opposition to SB25-005 transcends political boundaries: 87% of Republicans, 72% of Independents, and 50% of Democrats oppose the removal of the second vote.

So why are Dems doing this? I'll let you guess but it probably starts with the fact that most unions donate exclusively to Democrats.
