Union members in St. Paul kicked out Minnesota National Guard soldiers who were using the St. Paul Labor Center on West 7th Street as a temporary staging area Wednesday night.
In a video posted on Facebook by a registered nurse and member of the Minnesota Nurses Association, union members can be seen and heard mocking the soldiers and telling them to get out and go home.
It happened as the National Guard was mobilizing in the aftermath of the killing of Daunte Wright by a Brooklyn Center police officer. We came down here to confront them, Cliff Willmeng, a registered nurse, says on the video he posted. The labor movement and the National Guard has had a river of blood between the two institutions.
