St. Paul (June 21, 2021) – On behalf of more than 70,000 union construction professionals, the Minnesota State Building and Construction Trades Council supports passage of the full Skilled and Safe Workforce bill during this special session.
A proposal to settle for a study will tell us what we already know – that oil refineries are the highest hazard facilities in the state and need to be staffed with the mostly highly trained workforce possible.
We need the Legislature to protect oil refinery workers and surrounding communities and take action now.
