Q. Now, I would like to ask you a couple of questions about some current issues in Boulder County. Currently, some Boulder County employees are seeking to establish a process to vote on whether or not they want to form a union, so they can work with County management to solve workplace issues and negotiate with the County on things like wages and benefits.
