General Assembly Takes Aim At Captive Audience Meetings in the Workplace Via HB 24-1260

Colorado may join a small number of other states (Connecticut, Maine, New York, Minnesota, and Oregon) which have passed legislation banning mandatory “captive audience” meetings in the workplace.  House Bill 24-1260, introduced on February 12, 2024, and set to be heard by the Business Affairs & Labor Committee on March 20, 2024, would prohibit employers from requiring employees to attend meetings, listen to speech, or view communications concerning “religious or political matters”—including speech related to labor organizations and unionization—and would create a private right of action for violations of the same.”
