Sign the petition: Demand Joe O'Dea release injured parties from nondisclosure agreements.

ProgressNow Colorado is calling for Republican U.S. Senate Candidate Joe O’Dea to allow for any victims and injured parties involved in litigation against O’Dea who are either under Non-Disclosure Agreements or are too scared to share their stories be allowed to speak about their experience.

We demand that Joe O'Dea immediately release everyone who may be prohibited from talking publicly due to their NDAs and settlement agreements. When the stakes are this high the public has the right to hear their stories, and O’Dea should not be allowed to silence them.

Joe O’Dea’s concrete company has been fined by the Department of Labor for repeated health and safety violations, including creating an unsafe working environment that led to a roof collapse injuring 13 of his employees. A former human resources employee at Concrete Express alleged that management at the company concluded that ‘old guys were a liability’ and that the company ‘need(ed) to get rid of these old sick people’ to bring down insurance costs.

Joe O'Dea’s entire case for running for office is based on his concrete pouring business, where it's clear now that O'Dea put profits over the health and safety of his employees. It gets worse: while mistreating his own employees, O'Dea received almost $3 million in federal Paycheck Protection Program funds to meet his payroll obligations during the pandemic. O'Dea never missed the chance to enrich himself, but injured and aging workers at Concrete Express got a raw deal.

As a U.S. Senator, Joe O'Dea would continue to put crony special interests and his own wealth ahead of the needs of the people of Colorado. Colorado doesn't need any more bad bosses, and with your help, we'll make sure O'Dea is held accountable between now and November.
