We’re raising money to help volunteers across the country document ICE flights. This helps with accountability, advancing policy, and demostrates to detainees, and their loved ones, that they’re worthy of being counted, and are cared for by their community. Please help: ottergoose.net/ice

👉 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 👎

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.

@twinsbaseball.bsky.social Minnesota’s unions are watching. 👉 500 workers employed by Delaware North Company (DNC) who serve Twins fans food & drinks at Target Field to announce STRIKE on Thursday, June 11 💥 @uniteherelocal17.bsky.social bargaining committee hoped DNC would bargain in good faith.

Media advisory for Thursday, June 11, 2026. Contact Sheigh Freeburg - sfreeberg@here17.org or 651 497 7573.

DNC concession workers at target field to announce strike.

Who: concession workers employed by Delaware North Company, DNC who serve twins fans, food, and drinks at target field. The nearly 500 person unit is represented by UNITE HERE 17, Minnesota’s hospitality, workers union. What a press conference outside target field where workers will announce the date for a strike.

Where: 1 Twins Way, Minneapolis, MN 55403.

When: Thursday, June 11 at 10:15 AM

WHY: DNC concession workers at target field make minimum wage and do not have access to healthcare through their employer. They are fighting for a new contract with fair wages, affordable, healthcare, and job protections.

On May 1 workers voted by 81% to authorize a strike if necessary.

The bargaining committee for local 17 has been committed to avoiding a strike through good faith bargaining. Unfortunately, the company has not had the same commitment and as forced the committee to authorize a strike. Note: workers will be available for interviews after the press conference.

Unite Here local 17 is Minnesota’s hospitality workers union representing over 6000 workers in hotels airport restaurants, sports stadiums, craft beverage makers, university, cafeterias, and more.

✅ The Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation, AFL-CIO delegation has endorsed Cedrick Frazier for Hennepin County Attorney. @cedrickfrazier.bsky.social 👉 All union-endorsed candidates: bit.ly/mpls2026 Voter info: mnvotes.org Poll finder: pollfinder.sos.mn.gov #mpls #minnesota #mn #2026election

Cedrick Frazier for Hennepin County Attorney, proudly endorsed by the Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation, AFL-CIO. Labor endorsed candidate.

What are the responsibilities of a county attorney? Broadly, duties include:
The county attorney primarily prosecutes felony crimes (crimes which carry a maximum penalty of more than one year in prison) which occur within a county.
The county attorney is the legal advisor for the county board of commissioners, county officials and county departments.
The county attorney is the prosecutor in all cases involving juvenile offenders.
The county attorney plays an important role in seeking new laws to strengthen law enforcement, criminal justice, child protection, victim's rights, and other areas.
The county attorney initiates petitions to protect abused or neglected children in the county — and starts legal proceedings for vulnerable adults in the county when deemed needed.

In a nutshell: MRLF delegation's screening process: The Committee on Political Education (COPE) + Executive Board members conduct political candidate screenings, then bring recommendations to the MRLF delegate body made up of union member delegates who vote to confirm or reject (recommendations / endorsements require support of 2/3 of voting delegates).

For city, county, school board and state elected offices, the MRLF delegation has a sole role in race endorsements. However, the MRLF delegation makes recommendations in house, senate and congressional district races to the state-level federated labor body (MN AFL-CIO). In districts where the MRLF shares geographic jurisdiction with other regional labor federations, we make recommendations to the MN AFL-CIO.

Your elected officials work on behalf of you. Vote for people who stand with workers. Labor votes 2026
