A bill to combat workplace harassment in Colorado is dead for the second time since June. COPolitics
combat workplace harassmentSponsors of the Protecting Opportunities And Workers’ Rights Act, known as POWR, told The Denver Post they are abandoning their planned bill because they have no apparent path to pass it. They said they are writing a new and much different bill they expect will be less controversial.
As lawmakers forge ahead this year with plans for a slimmed-down bill that installs some new worker protections but takes no stab at a new legal standard for harassment, they vow — again — to try to replace “severe or pervasive” next year. “We met with the business community a number of times,” Lontine said, “and we were very clear — ‘This is our line in the sand.’ And every time we met, their suggestions included codifying ‘severe or pervasive’ in our statute.”
Winter added that if politicians were serious about public safety, and not just about getting elected or re-elected, they’d get to work on harassment and discrimination.
