FARGO, N.D. & MOORHEAD, Minn. (KVRR) Community activists are fighting for a change to labor laws in Minnesota and North Dakota.
After receiving support from Minnesota Democratic Senators Tina Smith and Amy Klobuchar, community activists are asking North Dakota Republican senators Kevin Cramer and John Hoeven to join forces and stand with the working people.
“Speaking about basic working conditions, pay, or safety are things workers are illegally retaliated for. The Pro Act would hold employers accountable, especially when they punish, harass or fire workers for attempting to organize in improving working conditions,” North Dakota AFL-CIO President Landis Larson said.
