Trump’s tariffs weigh heavy on truckers as overseas shipments sink

Freddy Lazo left a restaurant job for a higher paying one in trucking about two-and-a-half years ago. But the way President Trump’s trade war is going, he’s thinking he might have to go back to waiting tables soon. “It’s really super slow,” Lazo said, looking across the mostly empty trucking yard of shipping company Big Blue Box in New Brighton.

‘Blue Dog’ Democrats vote to roll back paid sick leave for workers at small farms and businesses

1 week ago | minnesotareformer.com | Max Nesterak |Minnesota Reformer

Six self-described “Blue Dog” Senate Democrats voted with Republicans on Tuesday to weaken the paid sick leave law they supported just two years ago and repeal the benefit for tens of thousands of workers at small farms and micro-businesses. The bill would still need to pass the House and win the signature of Gov. Tim Walz — both very much in doubt — before becoming law.
