Work Four Colorado 

We are the Colorado chapter of the growing national movement for a 4-day work week with no reduction in pay. Our mission is to make Colorado a leader in fair, forward-thinking labor policy by pushing for a 32-hour work week standard statewide by 2027–2028.

Across white-collar, blue-collar, and frontline jobs, we believe everyone deserves more time to rest, recharge, and live. Research shows that a 4-day week increases productivity, improves mental and physical health, reduces burnout, and helps businesses retain great employees.

Even in jobs where someone needs to be on-site — like cashiers, drivers, factory workers, and customer service — a shorter work week creates more jobs, stronger local economies, and happier customers.
