This is big. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻 @uniteherelocal17.bsky.social at Target Field & other Twin Cities stadiums have *been* raising the alarm on this exploitative staffing practice. 🔥 Thank you to labor-endorsed @keithellison.bsky.social for taking action for working people! —— #WhenWeFightWeWin #mpls #mnsports #mn

Exploiting workers isn't charity. It's illegal, and we won't tolerate it.

We are devastated for the 80 BCTGM Local 22 workers and their families who will be affected by this decision by Promise Confection, subsidiary of Promise Holdings, the owner of Pearson’s Candy. 🗣️ **People** over private equity and profit! #mn #bctgm #union #solidarity ——— mn.gov/deed/assets/...

👉 A year ago, Kings Road Merch Warehouse was purchased by Sony Music Entertainment. In May, workers voted unanimously to unionize with Teamsters 970. Just *2 hrs* before negotiations, Sony’s lawyers shared plans close the warehouse instead of bargaining in good faith. That’s #UnionBusting 👎

🗣️ CALLING ALL PUNKS! 🤟 👉 Today at 5 pm, join KRM Union for an info picket outside Kings Road Merch Warehouse in solidarity with workers fighting against the proposed closure of the punk rock merch warehouse in KRM’s own home city. #mpls #mn #minneapolis #solidarityforever

The treatment Darley Herrera has received from the @cityofmpls.bsky.social is appalling. The fact that this worker was fired for zero cause and has been put in a tenuous financial position AFTER Operation Metro Surge is disguting. Our workers deserve better. www.startribune.com/immigration-...

Immigration services misspelled his name. Then Minneapolis fired him.

The termination of Public Works employee Darley Herrera has driven a wedge between city hall and the Laborers Union.

AFL-CIO president aims to unionize 2 million workers in 5 years minnesotareformer.com/2026/06/07/a...

Our local labor movement was honored & recognized at the opening of the 30th National AFL-CIO Constitutional Convention. ✊ The MRLF team was proud to stand alongside our union siblings. We carried with us on stage the many, many everyday working people who showed up for our beloved community. ❤️‍🔥

AFL-CIO@aflcio.org · 2mo ago

The Minnesota labor movement embodies solidarity. Throughout the last year and their entire history, they’ve proven that when working people come together, stand with each other and fight for each other, there’s no politician or boss that can stop us.
