The park worker, her baby and the Minneapolis Park Board’s $13K invoice for her maternity leave pay
The Laborers’ Union is objecting to the treatment of a worker who tried to resign to care for her prematurely born child.
This could be any LIUNA Local 363 member who starts a family. When Indica had a premature baby with unexpected care needs, the #Minneapolis Park Board didn't offer support—they sent her a $13,000 bill and threatened to take her to court. We stand with Indica! www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

Dr. Lucas Franco at @cityofsaintpaul.bsky.social: Prevailing wage is the single most effective tool we have to prevent wage theft. Not only does it create a fair wage floor—it also requires certified payroll, which keeps bad actors off the jobsite before abuse happens. Vote yes!
