Shame on some Democrat legislators in Colorado who made the difference in voting for this bill that “tells farmworkers that the rights they win can still be negotiated downward. It tells Latino and immigrant workers that their labor is essential, but their protections are still treated as conditional.
It tells the people who keep Colorado’s agricultural economy running that they can still be singled out for harsher treatment under the law. It tells every politically vulnerable community in Colorado that even rights already won are only as secure as the willingness of those in power to defend them.”
