During the 1970s, 62 percent of U.S. workers were eligible for overtime pay, but federal inaction means fewer than 8 percent of Colorado workers are eligible today.

Antiquated overtime rules mean too many Colorado workers are not paid for all of their hard work. An update to the state's overtime theshold would mean more than 393,000 Coloradans would benefit from additional income or additional time with their families. Add your name to the growing list of Coloradans voicing their support or tell us how modernizing Colorado's overtime rules would help you, your family, your friends, and your coworkers. What could you do if you were compensated fairly for your work?
