Minnesota's Progressive Labor Laws Benefit Workers of All Backgrounds.
Minnesota has passed a package of pro-worker legislation, including paid family and medical leave, a ban on non-compete clauses, and strengthened protections for meatpacking and Amazon warehouse workers. The state has also mandated paid sick days, allowed teachers' unions to bargain over educator-to-student ratios, and created a council to improve conditions for nursing home workers. The legislation was made possible by the Democrats winning control of Minnesota's state senate in last November's midterm elections.
