Colorado Department of Labor & Employment

You serve others with dignity, and you deserve the same. Workers in CDLE are on the front lines of helping working people in Colorado. We're fighting for an agreement that recognizes the psychological and professional demands of this critical work.

We're improving daily life for CDLE employees and gaining momentum.

In the coming months, we are going to be bargaining the first-ever union contract specifically for CDLE workers.

Like our fellow state employees in the Departments of Corrections, Human Services, and Revenue, we will have the opportunity to secure provisions that address the specific issues we’re facing in Labor & Employment.

Bargaining is Here!

For the first time, we're going to bargaining table with CDLE to bargain for fair job descriptions, better work-life balance, and job protections surrounding the use of artificial intelligence.
