A lawsuit filed this week revives legal arguments against a Minnesota law that allows for unionization of in-home child care providers.

The suit, filed Tuesday in Ramsey County District Court, sought a temporary injunction to halt a mail-in election that is underway.

The suit — which names Gov. Mark Dayton, the state Bureau of Mediation Services, the Department of Human Services, and the commissioners of the two agencies — asserts that the unionization and pending election are unconstitutional.

The plaintiffs, who are Minnesota child-care providers, are challenging Minnesota’s Family Child Care Providers Representation Act, signed into law in 2013, which allows certain providers to opt for union representation.

1. Have heard from both sides of the issue. I'm not always pro union.

The general consensus is this is all about money nothing to do with safety. I can honestly say having worked for one paper without a union and one with a union. Not much difference in Safety. but more on money and it ended up killing our jobs in the end. naturally the editor was still paid more than she was worth.
