Taconite Talks Video: Les Minter
From providing jobs and shaping our skyline to helping provide funding for schools and partnering to protect the environment, iron mining is a critical part of Minnesota’s economy and community. That’s why – in our new video series, Taconite Talks – we are talking to people in our region about what it means to be a part of the iron mining industry and the impact it has throughout Minnesota.
In the first Taconite Talks, we hear from Les Minter, a third-generation steelworker at Minntac and member of USW Local 1938, about what iron mining means to him. Check it out!
Stay tuned for more Taconite Talks with policymakers, steelworkers and community members on our website and Twitter page!
