Citing opposition from restaurants, a bipartisan group of Colorado lawmakers rejected a bill Thursday that would’ve required certain large employers provide advance scheduling for their employees.
. The committee heard hours of testimony on it two weeks ago but didn’t take a formal vote because the sponsors — Denver Democrats Reps. Emily Sirota and Serena Gonzales-Gutierrez — withheld it for more work. Key votes on the committee opposed including restaurants in the bill, but Sirota and Gonzales-Gutierrez said they were committed to keeping that industry included, which they said was staffed by particularly vulnerable workers.
“I want you all to think about why we are here as legislators, and that is to represent the people who voted us into office,” Gonzales-Gutierrez said. “The people who voted us into office know that they might not always have the loudest voices. Workers don’t always have the loudest voices.”
