Hospitality and event center workers received additional job rights protection under a new ordinance passed by the Minneapolis City Council. The new ordinance requires employers to recall those workers, if and when they are needed in reverse order of seniority. Ordinance No. 2021-12, entitled “Hospitality Worker Right to Recall,” seeks to minimize the impact on affected employees in an industry particularly hard-hit by the COVID-19 pandemic and to stabilize the workforce. The ordinance becomes effective on May 1, 2021, and will remain in effect “until one (1) year after the termination” of the emergency declarations pronounced by Mayor Frey and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. The ordinance amends Title 2, Chapter 40 of the Minneapolis Code of Ordinances.
