The auditor for the city of Denver is backing the unionization campaign among employees in a division within his department.
In a statement, Timothy O’Brien said he supports the unionization of the Auditor Office’s Denver Labor division. The workers have officially affiliated with Communications Workers of America Local 7777, O’Brien said.
“I believe in the right of workers to organize,” O’Brien said in a statement. “Unions strengthen workplaces, amplify employee voices, and ensure a more transparent and fair work environment. By unionizing, our service to the public only gets better.”
Denver Labor is in charge of wage compliance efforts in the city.
“This is a partnership,” Denver Labor Executive Director Matthew Fritz-Mauer added in the same news release. “It would be strange to fight for the rights of Denver’s workers, while trying to deny those rights to our own staff. If they feel having a union will make our division stronger, then we’ll make sure their voice is heard and respected.”
Reaction among unionized staff has been positive, with several employees expressing appreciation for the Auditor’s stance.
