The Denver Post reported that the Colorado Supreme Court approved a
workers’ compensation ballot posted by the United Food and Commercial
Workers Local 7 union.
Legal challenges were originally charged against the titles of the
Colorado workers’ compensation ballot. However, the court upheld that the titles, “Employee
