Colorado plans to introduce a bill in January that would remove the state's requirement for a second election to form unions.

Colorado lawmakers plan to introduce the Worker Protection Act in January, aiming to streamline union formation by removing the state's unique requirement for a second election. Currently, Colorado is the only state requiring a second election with a 75% approval threshold for union security agreements. Supporters argue this change could increase union members' annual income by $2,300 and align Colorado's laws with other states. The proposal faces opposition from business groups, who claim the current system, part of the 1943 Labor Peace Act, maintains a balance between labor and employers.
