Thrilled @DefenderUnionCO called the push to privatize public defense in Aurora for what it is. I hope there will be strong public stances from the State PD and the private defense bar. If the defense bar stands in solidarity, the office won't go anywhere.

Me after working my ass off in a rural PD office in remote Colorado, having no idea what my salary is. @DefenderUnionCO

In early budget discussions, it appeared the largest raise would not go to the line PDs or administrative staff that need it most. Instead, the money would be funneled to office leadership.

Worker power for public defenders is essential to our civil liberties.
Defenders have been fighting for fair and equitable compensation for many months. Raises were supposed to go into effect 7/1 with our new fiscal year, but our bosses never put our pay letters in the mail. We don't know what we're earning!

Hopefully, this all ends with paralegals, admin staff, investigators, social workers, and line PDs getting the pay raises they deserve. But this is a masterclass by the state office in how to erode trust and drive people out of a system that already has a 22.5% attraction rate

The state office said to wait til July 1.
It's now July 11, and PDs around the state have told me that the new message is "you'll find out when you get your check at the end of the month".

For my non Colorado PDs, let me explain what is happening in Colorado and why it is such a big deal

Hey @ColoradoSun , @CPRMarkus , @KyleClark
Did you know that the close to 1,100 employees in the Colorado Public Defender system have no idea how much they are getting paid this month!?
@DefenderUnionCO is trying to bring this to the forefront.

Don't fall for the boss's empty gestures that do nothing to change the very real dangers and inequalities that workers of color experience

NEW: Colorado's Public Defender's office workers are unionizing. They say they're overworked and underpaid.
But, in order to gain recognition, they'll have to convince the state legislature to pass a law expanding collective bargaining rights. @CPRNews
