Workers march University Ave. in St. Paul to protest low wages; 26 arrested
Hundreds of people marched down University Avenue in St. Paul’s Midway neighborhood Friday to protest low pay for retail workers.
The demonstrators marched through the area, including the parking lot of the St. Paul Walmart store, in a demonstration calling for better worker wages and a hike in the state’s minimum wage.
The rally stopped traffic on University Avenue and ended with a sit-in at the intersection of University and Snelling Avenues.
