    I’m in this fight to make sure nobody is left out of this economy or society just because of who they are or where they live. I hope you’ll join me:

    Well, you have enough will power, and I have some too, let’s organize with others and build the political power. We can do it if we don’t give up too soon. Really, it’s possible.

    Replying to @TheDemocrats @keithellison
    This is a big accomplishment. Unfortunately there is still an overwhelming amount of work that still needs to be done to help so many struggling to survive in our country & not enough will power or political power to do it.

    Suite Liv’n will refund a total of about $50,000 to $60,000 to tenants in cities including Marshall. Utility surcharges were improperly imposed on 877 households renting from Suite Liv’n.

    Especially these days with housing all over Minnesota so tight and expensive, we stand with tenants against improper fees, poorly maintained properties, and unfair treatment of families.

    A landlord in the Willmar/Marshall area charged 877 households a fee they weren’t entitled to charge under MN law, then charged them late fees if they didn’t pay. We warned the landlord not to do it. When they did it anyway, we got tenants’ money back.

    Reminder about the Meldahl win. It was our first case of using consumer-protection law to protect tenants from fraud and abuse. I set up a new unit in my office to do this kind of work. Stay tuned for more.

    A court has found that Mpls landlord Steven Meldahl knowingly & in bad faith violated the rights of 267 families he rented to. The court found “credible and compelling” former tenants who testified about housing conditions of “Biblical plague proportions.”

    I took this case bc tenants are consumers of housing and protecting consumers of all goods & svcs in every part of MN from fraud & abuse is my job. Today’s settlement is part of a body of work that got a very important court win against Mpls landlord Steven Meldahl last November.

    This is so sad. Char was an awesome leader and gave her All to the Labor Movement and working people. I’m so grateful for her service. Rest in Power.

    The Minnesota AFL-CIO is saddened to announce the death of former Minnesota AFL-CIO President Shar Knutson. Elected in 2009 and serving through 2015, Knutson was the first woman to lead the state’s federation of labor unions.”

    NEW: I’m suing Azure Health Services, a company operating supported-living facilities, for cheating its frontline health care workers of full wages, including overtime, during the pandemic. Wage theft from hardworking caregivers is shameful, illegal, and won't go unpunished.
