IMPORTANT SURVEY FOR TWIN CITIES BUSINESS OWNERS!
 
Metro Advocacy Coalition of Chambers was created to bring the voice of businesses across the Twin Cities together to manage these and other related issues.

Issues like paid sick and safe leave, mandated schedules, and wage rules are being acted on by individual cities yet we live in a metro area that is part of a larger region.  As more cities look at these issues, the conversation about what is the right direction for Minnesota is incredibly important.

THIS IS SO AWESOME!
