    employment discrimination and labor rights case currently on appeal before the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals

    by TR, 4 days ago

    I am a pro se litigant in an employment discrimination and labor rights case currently on appeal before the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals (Case No. 25-1420). I am writing to respectfully request legal representation for this appeal. The case involves claims of disability discrimination, retaliation, and breach of the duty of fair representation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), and a collective bargaining agreement. I previously worked for Pueblo County Department of Human Services and was a member of AFSCME Local 1335. After resigning due to a hostile work environment and episodic... Continue reading

    Just ignore that letter.

    by Lanita, 8 days ago

    My family and I are covered under Colorado's Medicaid program. Every year we have to renew. This past May, 2025, we filled out the form and submitted it on time, to the correct department. Since that time, we have received 19 letters regarding our case, most of them are contradicting the previous letter, some of them contradict themselves within the same letter. When I call for a clarification, I am told that either they are behind or that someone made a data entry error; and that I should ignore the last letter.


    On the PEAK website, I discovered that as... Continue reading

    The Arts Complex and Argus Event Staffing Firing Scheme

    by Worried Coworker, 13 days ago
    The Arts Complex (Buell, Boettcher, and Ellie Caulkins) management along with their client Argus Event Staffing are in the process of requesting accommodations updates from long time staff (18 or 19 years even), then hitting them with a letter that says their reasonable accommodation (use of cane, wheelchair, or the ability to sit when patrons are not present) cannot be met, and firing them.


    It's a disgrace to arts venues, the City of Denver, and the good work of our usher and security team who adore these venues and work tirelessly to provide accessible service to patrons to be treated... Continue reading

    Employment Discrimination and Disability Rights in Practice

    by ResilientInColorado, 16 days ago

    As a Colorado resident and veteran, I’ve experienced firsthand the gaps that exist between written disability rights and how those rights are applied in the workplace.

    In 2025, I worked for a large natural foods retailer in Colorado. After disclosing diagnoses of anxiety and depression and beginning the process of evaluation for autism, I submitted a formal ADA accommodation request. My request was simple: written communication of expectations and feedback, predictable scheduling, and time to process before responding in stressful interactions. Rather than engaging in the interactive process required by law, my employer’s response included increased micromanagement, exclusion from meetings... Continue reading

    Discrimination I received from casa tequila

    by Robert Kaufman, 28 days ago

    I had one of the most upsetting and humiliating experiences of my life at Casa Tequila. I came in with my girlfriend for a dinner date. I’m a bilateral amputee and use a power wheelchair. As we entered, another man in a wheelchair struck up a short conversation with me—he was visibly distressed, sharing that he was scheduled for an amputation and just wanted to talk. I listened briefly, gave him words of encouragement, and made my way to the table where my girlfriend was already seated.

    That’s when things took a disturbing turn.

    A man who claimed to be... Continue reading

    CCRD is broken?

    by Dennis Mattoon, 4 months ago
    I filed a complaint in February 2025 of an incident related to previous employment occurring 23 July 2024. I received notice in about March 2025 that my complaint was rejected due to being outside the 300 day limit. The time frame is closer to 210 days. I have contacted CCRD and other elements of state and federal government without answer or indication that the error would be corrected.

    The incident is clearly documented on a Colorado Nursing Board document with the above date and issues.

    My question is who can I contact about this issue. I am concerned that CCRD... Continue reading
