The two biggest state employee unions in Minnesota have reached agreements with Governor Walz’s administration. These agreements would give workers a 2.5% wage increase the next 2 years, add Juneteenth as a paid holiday, and keep health care premiums stable. Over 33,000 workers will be impacted by these agreements. Union members will vote on the agreements over the next 6 weeks.
