After a year of backlash, the council easily passed a resolution creating a Labor Standards Board. Now it goes to Mayor Jacob Frey.

The Minneapolis City Council is set to vote on a proposal on Thursday that would establish a labor standards board, a move that worries some small business owners.

Supporters say that requirement will help the board make a workable policy without steamrolling one group. "The whole purpose is to engage with all of the stakeholders" to make workable policies, SEIU Minnesota executive director Brian Elliott told Axios.
