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:

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.

Want to contact Minnesota Legislators? Here are their e-mail addresses; just copy and paste:
