Minnesota AFL-CIO: Time for Republicans to come back to the negotiating table

Minnesota AFL-CIO President Bill McCarthy issued the following statement in response to today’s Ramsey County District Court decision:

“Working Minnesotans applaud Governor Dayton’s move to appeal today’s court decision.

“The Republican budget is bonanza of tax giveaways to corporate CEOs coupled with toxic policies that weaken teacher standards and demonize immigrants.

“Republicans can avoid further wasting taxpayer dollars by returning to the table with Governor Dayton to negotiate a budget that is fair to working people and reflects Minnesota values.”
