• Working for Workers in Minnesota

  Workers are up against a lot right now. Wage theft affects tens of thousands of Minnesota workers every year. Non-compete agreements are stifling competition and suppressing wages. And sometimes employers reach into your paycheck and take money they shouldn't. Fortunately, my Office is committed to standing up for working people and holding bad actors who take advantage of workers accountable. We cover all these issues and so much more on this episode of Affording Your Life. Please be sure to rate, review, and share with friends and family!
