Organizers of a ballot initiative to make Colorado a right-to-work state filed more than 133,000 signatures with Secretary of State Mike Coffman’s office this morning.
Backers need the signatures of 76,000 registered voters to get their initiative placed on the ballot. Coffman’s office has 30 days to certify the signatures, and the measure could be placed on the November ballot after that, provided there are no legal challenges to it.
The initiative would ask voters to amend the state constitution to say that union membership and the payment of union dues or fees could not be mandatory. Unions have opposed the measure and have filed their own ballot proposals.
