About us

WE ARE DENVER HEALTH WORKERS UNITED

Denver Health Workers United is a union by and for frontline employees. We are an open union for all staff, fighting for health and safety protections, equitable wages, benefits and working conditions, as well as increased public funding.  We love Denver Health because we are Denver Health. We are building an independent employee organization with the power to address our concerns. 

Denver Health Workers United is affiliated with the Communications Workers of America (CWA) Local 7799.  CWA is a national union that represents 40,000 healthcare workers and over 100,000 public workers across the nation.  As employees of Denver Health we are considered public workers and currently have no legal right to collective bargaining.  That means Denver Health leadership is not legally required to bargain with us, but there is nothing in the law that prevents them from doing so voluntarily. We may not have collective bargaining yet, but we have collective power! By creating a union right now and inviting every Denver Health employee to join us, we can create power by unifying our voices. Together we can create positive change for staff — and the community we love and serve.

Get involved and join the union today.
