Menard's - the midwest home improvement chain owned by billionaire Scott Walker supporter John Menard - is on trial for breaking federal labor law. The National Labor Relations Board trial starts Wednesday in Minneapolis. Menard's is accused of mis-classifying truckers as independent contractors rather than employees to avoid granting the workers labor law protections and rights. OPEIU's Seth Goldstein brought the case.

Seth Goldstein: "We believe that they're employees and therefore have the right to organize a union. This is the first time ever that Menards has been hauled in front of a judge to answer for their labor violations."

A second important issue is Menard's use of mandatory arbitration contracts that illegally deprive workers of legal rights to challenge labor law violations in court.
