Hard to believe it has been 5 years since lost Hennepin EMS paramedic Karl Meek. Karl was a dedicated paramedic, brother, uncle and son. #gonebutneverforgotten

Just a reminder that “Human Resources” exists to protect the employer and shield them from liability. Unions are the voice of working people and represent an egalitarian and accountable means of protecting workers.

Extremely important to keep up support for EMS across the state of Minnesota. We are working with lawmakers on several initiatives to support our members and our fellow EMS providers across the state!

Senator Dziedzic was a great asset to Minnesota, organized labor and EMS. She will be missed.
Former Senate Majority Leader Kari Dziedzic, who came from a famous northeast Minneapolis family and led the DFL Party through the landmark 2023 session, has died from the ovarian cancer that forced her to step away from her leadership role earlier this year.

Today we honor former HCAPE paramedic Jim Blanchard. Jim died while serving the community on 12-11-2002. He was an amazing paramedic and mentor to many who continue to serve the residents off Hennepin County.

These folks have been doing amazing work! Many stores here in Minnesota are joining them, with hopefully more to come!
Starbucks workers are entering the final phase of negotiations at the bargaining table - and each month, more and more are adding their voice as we fight for our contracts.
In fact, 150+ stores organized this year alone!
Today, 11 more stores are announcing their union efforts- with more TBA soon🧵
