Your membership with Colorado WINS

From Denver to Durango, whether we work downtown or up in the mountains, state employees make the way for our communities to thrive. We clear the highways, maintain secure and safe prisons, care for veterans, people with mental illness and/or developmental disabilities and much much more. We came together in our union, Colorado WINS, to make sure that we have all the resources we need to keep serving our communities. After all, most of us are here to make the world around us a little better, and state services felt like the best way to do that. When we all come together through our union, we can get improvements, like high quality equipment and better staffing levels, to do our jobs to the best of our ability.

Colorado state employees have been targeted with messages from anti-worker groups. They are part of a deceptive marketing campaigns from billionaires that do not have our best interest in mind.

They target unions like ours because we are a threat to their agenda to privatize and profit off services we all need, like quality care for our veterans and safe highways.

We do not accept unofficial drop forms. If you are interested in terminating your membership with Colorado WINS, please send an email to info@cowins.org to begin the process of leaving your state employees’ union.

Debunking their claims:

Claim 1: If I leave the union, “will I still receive the same wages and benefits? Yes.”

FALSE: Study after study has shown that in states where more people are members in union, wages are higher because we bargain from a position of strength and push back on groups who call for cuts.

Opt Out Today Claim 2: “Does opting out affect my pension? No.”

FALSE: We have a pension because we have a strong union. Where unions are weak, like in Wisconsin, wealthy interests have successfully cut pensions.

Opt Out Today Claim 3: “Send this form end and get your money back now!”

We do not accept forms from other parties to terminate your Colorado WINS membership. If you would like to stop your Colorado WINS payroll deductions, please email info@cowins.org.
