MINNEAPOLIS

Work on the new $763 million Minnesota Vikings stadium — officially the “Minnesota Multi-Purpose Stadium” — will be an all-union job.

Construction will involve an estimated 4 million work hours. At construction peak, some 1,300-1,400 workers will be on-site.

The public authority which will own the stadium, the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority, required project contractor M.A. Mortenson Company to negotiate a “Project Labor Agreement” with the Minneapolis Building and Construction Trades Council.

A Project Labor Agreement serve a public purpose by ensuring that the work on the project continues on schedule without any labor disputes.
