WASHINGTON - Congressman Keith Ellison, DFLer from Minnesota's 5th District, spoke out on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives recently to call for an end to the lockout of American Crystal Sugar workers.
American Crystal Sugar is the nation’s largest processor of sugar from beets. The company has locked out workers at seven facilities in Minnesota, North Dakota and Iowa. The workers are fighting for a contract that preserves job security.
