The bill that would require certain large employers give their workers advanced notice of their work schedules
“I think that really put a spotlight on the vulnerability of this workforce — largely unorganized labor — and I see it as my job as a representative to make sure I’m there working on behalf of my constituents,” Sirota said. “They don’t have a bunch of well-paid lobbyists to spend all of their time at the Capitol and to see legislators every day and do all that work on behalf of their clients.”
Workers pick up placards during a rally for efforts to union Starbucks stores Saturday, June 11, 2022, outside the State Capitol in Denver. More than three dozen workers were on hand for the rally. Sirota and Gonzales-Gutierrez have said workers would still be able to swap shifts and maintain flexibility that some staff want; the intent with the predictability pay, they said, is to compensate employees whose shifts change for things like hastily arranged or canceled child care. But restaurant owners say the bill would stifle the flexibility inherent — and, for some workers, welcomed — in the industry.
State Rep. Serena Gonzales-Gutierrez, front, and supporters of Fair Workweek bill which requires advance scheduling by employers, rally in the West Foyer of Colorado State Capitol Building in Denver on Thursday, Feb. 16, 2023.
