Boulder County Employees submit proposals to
County for Model Resolution and Code of Conduct

On September 12, 2006, the Boulder County Employees Organizing Committee/SEIU submitted a Model Resolution and draft Code of Conduct to the County of Boulder.  Based on laws promulgated in 26 states and on federal labor law, this resolution would put Boulder County in a leadership position on labor rights within Colorado. 

The draft resolution would appropriately recognize the need for employees to make the decision to organize a union free from managerial pressures and hostility by providing for management neutrality.  It would provide reasonable access to county facilities for employees to meet with union organizers, as in many other states and localities.  The draft includes establishment of an effective labor-management cooperation program that would set an example for municipal and county governments across Colorado, and provides for settlement of disputes through binding arbitration.

The Boulder County Employees Organizing Committee is asking for urgent action on the draft model resolution by the County Commissioners and is requesting support from a broad array of community groups and community leaders.
