PLYMOUTH, Minn. — A handful of Minnesota's highest-ranking elected officials are on the picket line Wednesday. Gov. Tim Walz, Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan and others are marching with striking members of the United Auto Workers at the Stellantis facility in Plymouth.

The UAW strike is now in its fifth week, and for local workers both in Plymouth and in Hudson, Sunday will mark one month on the picket lines.

Workers say things are starting to feel tighter after nearly a month on the picket line, but Walz and others told them Wednesday morning to hold tight.
