DENVER — Employees at a nonprofit focused on helping the unhoused have announced their intention to form a union.
Helping people experiencing homelessness is something Zoey Palmer enjoys doing every day as a registered nurse with the Coalition’s street medicine team. “I think for me, personally, I was really seeing how the turnover was affecting our clients as well as the rest of the staff,” said Palmer. “We're operating really understaffed in a lot of departments.”“They talk about how quickly they cycle through case managers and other staff,” said Palmer.“Pay is a huge issue,” said Palmer. “A lot of our employees also qualify for some of the same benefits that our clients do because they are not being paid enough to survive in Denver.
According to the job search firm Zip Recruiter, the average hourly pay for someone with a bachelor’s degree in Denver is $29 an hour.“At CCH are committed to working with our whole team and our organization to realize every effort possible to increase wages,” Fisher said.
