“As caseworkers, we are in the community every day and experience first hand how TABOR and budget limitations directly affect client care and the community.  We need a union of Boulder County employees to secure funding for the vital services we provide and to have a formal voice that will work with management as equals to make necessary improvements.  That’s why I support Boulder County employees uniting to form a union with SEIU.”

 “I support building a union with SEIU to improve pay, benefits and morale at Boulder County.  We need to retain qualified and experienced staff to preserve our quality public services.  With a union, we can work with management to make policies that make the County more efficient and a better place to work.”

 “Our secure retirement is under attack. Boulder County is the largest county participating in PERA.  As PERA members, we have a big stake in the future of the retirement fund.  By joining together with SEIU, we can build an organization to protect our retirement benefits, elect a representative to the PERA board, and influence the legislative decisions made about our retirement benefits.”
