Why does the Minnesota Democratic Farmer-Labor Party with it super majority continue to do nothing for workers?
Why does the Minnesota Democratic Farmer-Labor Party with it super majority continue to do nothing:
http://www.startribune.com/entertainment/188136771.html?refer=y
I just spent two days talking with locked out workers in the Red River Valley--- the American Crystal Sugar Company lockout of some 1,300 workers. Every single worker I spoke with along with members of their families supported the three pieces of legislation I have proposed. These are working class families who overwhelmingly support and vote for Democrats and they now expect this kind of very basic pro-worker legislation from the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer Labor Party's super majority.
If anyone doesn't believe me that there is overwhelming support for Minnesota Democrats to enact the following legislation they can go ask Minnesota workers themselves:
1. Anti-lockout legislation.
2. Anti-scab legislation.
3. Repeal and rescind "At-will Employment" legislation.
