Minnesotans have waited long enough.
It's time to raise standards to promote integrity and safety in Minnesota's construction industry.

Minnesota’s construction industry is thriving. Construction of public schools and  multi-family housing units are at near record levels in the Twin Cites. Roads and bridges, water and sewer systems, gas lines and wind farms are being built across the state. New health care facilities are injecting billions of dollars into the economies of Duluth and Rochester. This boom is good news for many Minnesota construction workers who earn middle-class wages and benefits. But the boom has also contributed to growth in the number of workers who are being injured, having their wages stolen, and in the worst cases being trafficked by unscrupulous employers.

Minnesota construction workers deserve good, family-supporting incomes and safe work environments. All Minnesotans deserve safe, high-quality building and infrastructure projects that are delivered on time and on budget. This will only happen when project owners decide it’s better to build construction projects the right way, rather than to cut corners and build them on the cheap.
