Join us for a rally to let our community know we will not sit idly by while Donald Trump & Congressional Republicans drive up health insurance premiums. We will meet on the sidewalk outside of Northridge Clinic in North Mankato.

Thank you, @smith.senate.gov for standing up to union busting! #BetterInAUnion

This decision isn’t just a slap in the face to working Americans, it shows that Donald Trump doesn’t care about veterans or the people who put in long hours to care for them, many who are veterans themselves. aflcio.mn/3HmJx7M

"Longtime Hormel worker Dan Lenway — lead plaintiff in the lawsuit — said the law has been a lifeline for workers.'It means we don’t have to risk our jobs or our wages just to take care of our health or our families,' he said." #BetterInAUnion @UFCW663

For many non-faculty workers at Macalester, their jobs suddenly felt a lot less secure on Nov. 6. #BetterInAUnion

Both the Governor and state authorities are advising not to attend today’s No Kings March in St. Paul & other political rallies until the suspect in today’s violence is apprehended. We urge people in attendance to act with caution and cooperate with marshals and law enforcement.
