Who We Are

ROC Minnesota is a local worker center that advocates for fair, dignified wages and working conditions across the state of Minnesota. Since our formation in 2017, we have led and been a part of several campaigns across the Twin Cities. You can read more about our organizing work below.

Bartmann Group Busted

After a series demonstrations, Bartmann Group workers won $230,000 in compensation in backpay from the local restaurant group.

Caribou Workers United

Caribou Coffee workers led a campaign to force the company to provide hazard pay and provide proper PPE to staff at the height of the pandemic.

Bonchon Better Have My Money

Bonchon was illegally stealing wages in the form of minimum wage violations and safe & sick time violations. After a series of demonstrations, the company buckled and wrote checks to the staff.

$15 For All

In 2018, ROC members led the fight to make sure almost 60,000 restaurant workers were included in a citywide adoption of $15 / hour.

OUR RIGHTS IN THE WORKPLACE

If you have questions about our rights, contact us below.

The National Labor Relations Board protects the rights of employees to engage in “concerted activity”, which is when two or more employees take action for their mutual aid or protection regarding terms and conditions of employment, such as asking for a raise or adopting a fair scheduling system.  A single employee may also engage in protected concerted activity if they are acting on the authority of other employees, bringing group complaints to the employer’s attention, trying to induce group action, or seeking to prepare for group action.

Even if we are not represented by a union, federal law gives us the right to band together with coworkers to improve our lives at work – including social media. We have the right to speak about improving our working conditions in the workplace and on social media.
