The Minnesota AFL-CIO has a new leader. Union officials announced today the election of Shar Knutson as president. She'll replace Ray Waldron, who retires on Oct. 1 after nine years as president. A news release says Knutson is the first woman president of the 300,000 member labor organization.
"I am honored that our state's labor leaders have elected me to continue the mission of securing social and economic justice for Minnesota's working people," Knutson said.
