Partnership Agreement
In June of 2020, the Colorado Partnership for Quality Jobs and Service Act was signed into law, recognizing Colorado WINS as the certified employee organization for covered State employees. The Parties successfully negotiated the Partnership Agreement in 2021 and wages in 2022. The State of Colorado and Colorado WINS have successfully renegotiated the Partnership Agreement, including wages, and the new language is included in the Agreement that follows. Colorado Governor Jared Polis signed this Agreement into effect on September 23, 2024.
The Partnership Agreement
Statewide Labor Management Committee
Subject to the language of the current Partnership Agreement, the Statewide Labor Management Committee (LMC) meets monthly. Labor Management Committees create opportunities for collaborative, creative, solutions-oriented discussions between the State and COWINS. The goal of any LMC is to improve Employee satisfaction, productivity and efficiency by promoting trust, fairness and open communication between Employees and the State.
The Statewide LMC is composed of equal numbers of management chosen by the State and Employees chosen by COWINS not to exceed a total of 20 individuals, unless mutually agreed to otherwise.
Participation in meetings are limited to members of the LMC.
More information can be found on the COWINS website.
