Paid Leave in Minnesota

We don’t make it a habit of being jealous of Minnesota, but they keep passing legislation that makes it hard to not think the grass looks a little greener over there. 

Minnesota is on its way to passing a revolutionary paid leave and medical act.  We talk to Sarah Piepenberg, owner of Vinaigrette and Minnesota leader with Main Street Alliance, and Shawn Phetteplace, Interim Organizing and Policy Director, of Main Street Alliance about what it took to get it done in Minnesota.
