Douglas County sheriff’s officials and commissioners violated Colorado labor laws during a union election process earlier this year, according to a state report.

Colorado’s labor department has determined Douglas County, from the sheriff’s office to the board of commissioners, violated state labor practices by allegedly attempting to influence votes during a union election process earlier this year.

The county was ordered to stop all anti-collective bargaining actions, distribute the determination letter to all employees and post a notice informing employees about their rights under state law. FOX31's Gabby Easterwood spoke with the Colorado State Fraternal Order of Police about the decision.
