University of Colorado

You serve others with dignity, and you deserve the same. Workers across all four campuses (Anschutz, Boulder, Colorado Springs, and Denver) work tirelessly every day to keep campuses clean, support students and faculty, and make sure CU keeps running. We're fighting for an agreement that recognizes the physical and professional demands of this critical work.

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

In the coming months, we are going to be bargaining the first-ever union contract that will unite our four CU campuses.

Like our fellow state employees in CSU system, we will have the opportunity to secure provisions that address the specific issues we’re facing in the University of Colorado system.

Before we head to the table, we need to hear from you. Take the bargaining survey below to nominate for the bargaining team, and share what priorities you think the team we elect should bring to the table.

Bargaining is Here!

For the first time, we're going to bargaining table with CU to bargain for fair job descriptions, better work-life balance, and better equipment and training to do the jobs we're tasked with.
