9to5 Colorado
9to5's Colorado chapter was founded in 1996 and is dedicated to the issues that directly affect women in the workplace. We work to involve women in improving policies addressing pay equity, work/family issues, sexual harassment, discrimination, welfare, unemployment and protections for temporary and part-time workers.
Our victories in the last two years have included wins on crucial state policies including a higher minimum wage, establishing a state pay equity commission, protecting workers who discuss their wages, increasing welfare cash assistance, breastfeeding accommodations and unemployment insurance—meaning immediate improvements in the lives of our members and all low-wage workers. In 2008 9to5 helped lead the historic campaign to defeat a ballot referendum which would have eliminated Colorado's equal opportunity programs for women and people of color--the first time any state has successfully defended against this type of campaign.
