A petition calls for the public defender's office to bring all positions up to at least a market rate, and to refrain from giving raises to employees who are already paid at the market rate until that is done.
More than 500 employees in the Office of the Colorado State Public Defender signed a petition this spring raising concerns about how a $16 million wage increase will be divvied up among workers.
“The culture has been so silent on this issue for so long,” said James Hardy, an executive board co-chair with the union. “The reaction to anyone who says, ‘I’m having trouble paying bills’ is like, ‘Well, go get another job.’ So the fact that 550 people signed on to this in less than a week, just shows how commonly held these frustrations are and how deeply folks want transparency about these issues, and want to know what they can expect.
showed plans to give raises to some already well-paid positions in the agency, while some other positions remained underpaid. The petition calls for the public defender’s office to bring all positions up to at least a market rate, and to refrain from giving raises to employees who are already paid at the market rate until that is done.
James Karbach, director of legislative policy for the public defender’s office, said in a statement that the office is focused on addressing “the pay of employees who are the most under market” and said agency leadership has tried to answer employee questions about the raises and the upcoming switch to a different pay structure.
