Category: Right to Work · State: Colorado · Source: Denver Business Journal

The United Food & Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 7 said Wednesday it is removing two of its four potential ballot questions, including one that would increase commercial property tax by 5 percent and another that would require employers to provide annual cost-of-living increases.

UFCW President Ernest Duran said he agreed to remove the two counter measures after the Public Affairs Committee of the Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce voted to oppose the union-supported measures as well as Amendment 47.
