Join Colorado WINS Community

Colorado Workers for Innovative and New Solutions (WINS) is a union representing more than 24,000 state employees. We work to improve quality of services, safety, pay and benefits, working conditions, conflict resolution, staff attrition and more to ensure an effective workforce to serve all Coloradans.
From snowplow drivers to veterans homes nurses, state employees perform critical jobs that keep Coloradans safe and healthy. Now we're campaigning for our biggest victory yet - step increases to improve recruitment and retention in state jobs.
Get involved!The same week that COWINS members submitted their intent to bargain with the CSU system, we stood in solidarity with grad workers and faculty that are also working to make CSU an employer of choice.
Yesterday, Governor Polis signed the state budget for Fiscal Year 2023-2024 into law. It is one of the single largest investments in Colorado public services in living memory.
Thanks to members' vigilance in enforcing our contract, CDLE (and all departments with similar practices) must cease and desist from applying departmental policies that violate Article 14.3.
