Summary
- For most private sector employers in Colorado, labor union organizing and labor relations are generally governed by the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). See Right to Organize and Bargain Collectively.
- State law, however, can apply if it is not overridden by the NLRA. See Right to Organize and Bargain Collectively.
- Colorado has a comprehensive labor relations statute, the Colorado Labor Peace Act. See Right to Organize and Bargain Collectively.
- Colorado is not a "right to work" state, but has a modified "right to work" law. See No Right to Work.
