Minnesota State unionized Employees do their part to get us through crisis. This could be Jesse's finest hour - clean out the dead wood permanently: Tragedy tests Minnesota state workers' will to strike Thursday, September 27, 2001 By BRIAN BAKST The Associated Press ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Two unions representing nearly 28,000 Minnesota state workers have voted overwhelmingly to go on strike, and Gov. Jesse Ventura has ordered the National Guard to be ready to fulfill vital functions if they do. The walkout deadline was pushed from Sept. 17 to Oct. 1 because of the terrorist attacks, which also have tempered some support for a strike. Last-ditch talks resume today on two-year contracts for the workers, who make up more than half of the state work force. Their former contracts expired June 30. In landslide votes a few weeks ago, members of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees Council 6 and the Minnesota Association of Professional Employees gave the go-ahead for strikes. bergen.com
