What would happen to your family if you were forced to work for over a month *without* pay? That’s what many federal workers are experiencing right now.
Enough is enough.

Here's an easy differentiator when choosing your next Boulder City Council. Cutting wages for tipped workers is a bad idea. And yet so many Boulder underpaid workers can't even vote in Boulder, having been pushed out, counting on every one else to vote right! boulderreportinglab.org/2025/10/19/b...
Boulder's election could decide future pay for tipped workers
Some city council candidates want to increase the “tip credit,” letting employers count more of workers’ tips toward the city’s minimum wage.

Big day for workers today! Boulder County Employees Union speaks out about how important it is to have basic union protections, how good wages don't have to translate to budget cuts.

How to read tech speak. "You'll stifle innovation with AI regulation" really means "we don't have a viable biz model so we need to exploit you via your data to make money". Call Colorado House Reps today, no on HB25-1008. Call Senate SB25-04 for a yes vote.

While BALC won't do endorsements until after Labor Day, just gotta say, Jake Marsing is saying all the right things, and somebody we're watching closely to shape up to be a local labor advocate.
Tomorrow is City Council’s Open Forum, a chance to speak directly to your leaders. I’m running to make that kind of access more common. More town halls, faster responses, and real accountability. If you believe in that vision, get involved at jakemarsing.com

We have the votes in Congress to overturn President Trump’s union-busting executive order. As @repcasar.bsky.social said, every member of Congress who supports America’s unions and workers needs to sign the discharge petition to give the Protect America’s Workforce Act a vote.
