Workers in different professions

Workplace Rights Week in Minnesota took place Sept. 21-27, 2025, and was an opportunity to educate workers and employers about their rights and responsibilities in the workplace. Safe and healthy workplaces are what make our economy and communities strong, and it’s important Minnesotans understand their workplace rights and are empowered to assert those rights.
