Grand Junction, CO — Christian Komor, the Independent write-in candidate for Colorado Governor in 2026, today outlined the labor and union pillar of his platform — a set of enforceable commitments designed to restore the bargaining power Colorado workers held during the middle-class decades of the 1950s through the 1970s.

"They broke the unions because organized workers cut into profits," Komor said. "We are going to restore what was taken. Prevailing wage. Project Labor Agreements on every state-funded project. Full protection for every Colorado worker's right to organize. This is not a wish list — it is a set of specific tools that put paychecks back into working households and dignity back into the work you do."

The Six Commitments

1. Prevailing Wage on Every State-Funded Project. Every dollar Colorado spends on construction, infrastructure, or public works will carry a prevailing-wage requirement — no exceptions, no loopholes, no shell-contractor workarounds. Colorado workers will no longer be underbid on their own state's projects.

2. Project Labor Agreements on Every State-Funded Project. State-funded construction and infrastructure will be built under Project Labor Agreements — binding commitments to fair wages, safe conditions, and negotiated workforce standards. This is how the Interstate SkyCarbon Blueprint's 150,000-plus green-collar careers will be delivered: built, owned, and staffed by Coloradans, on Colorado land.

3. State Procurement Preference for High-Wage Bidders. "My administration will not just 'hope' for better pay," Komor said. "We will use the power of state procurement to favor bidders who pay at least 110 percent of the local median wage." Contractors who miss their wage or job targets will face mandatory incentive clawbacks.

4. The Labor Enforcement Coordination Council. A new statewide body launched from day one, empowered to aggressively protect worker rights and safety across every agency. Zero tolerance for wage theft. "If you do the work, you get the pay. Period."

5. Full Protection of the Right to Organize. "In these times we must fiercely protect the freedom of assembly and the right to organize," Komor said. "My administration respects the Colorado Labor Peace Act and the neighborly bonds that collective bargaining creates. The power of the Governor's office will support swift deterrence for anyone who attempts to undermine the constitutional integrity of our workforce."

6. Rebuilding Public Service as a Career. Public employees and educators are "the backbone of our Governance by and for the People." Komor's administration will implement nation-leading teacher pay and recruit the best talent into state service — from teachers to security forces — by offering the respect and compensation a premier state deserves.

The SkyCarbon Jobs Program — Colorado's Largest Union-Eligible Workforce in State History

The labor platform is anchored by the Interstate SkyCarbon Blueprint, a plan to bring four grid-independent Direct Air Carbon Removal plus Hyperscale Data Center campuses to Colorado's Eastern Plains. The blueprint projects over 150,000 good-paying, mostly-union careers in geothermal, wind, solar, and direct air carbon removal — construction beginning day one of a Komor administration.

Construction sites will include the Denver Arapahoe Disposal Site, the Weld County Denver-Julesburg Basin, Arapahoe County, and the Piceance Basin in Mesa County — where "high methane leakage from older wells and oil and gas workers abandoned by their companies" will find "the skills to take on carbon management roles."

"This is not just clean manufacturing," Komor said. "This is cleanup manufacturing. And every job in it will be a Colorado job, at a Colorado wage, with a Colorado worker's right to sit at the bargaining table."

Funding

Every element of the labor platform is funded the same way: by closing corporate loopholes that moved wealth from paychecks to boardrooms. Zero new taxes on Colorado working families. SkyCarbon construction is funded through the Colorado Infrastructure Bank and the SkyCarbon Enterprise — state-owned enterprises whose fee-for-service revenue is constitutionally exempt from TABOR limits.
