Moorhead, Minn. (AP) — No charges are expected after locked-out
American Crystal Sugar workers say vehicles bumped into them on a
Moorhead picket line.
Moorhead Police Lt. Tory Jacobson tells KFGO-AM that in two
separate incidents Friday, locked-out workers claim they were
intentionally bumped by vehicles crossing the picket line.
Up to 25 pickets were walking near a gate when the incidents
happened.
Jacobson says police have been speaking with locked-out workers
and Crystal officials to ensure everyone's safety.
Union workers at Crystal have been locked out since Aug. 1.

Minnesota Sounds and Voices: The Spin Collective dancers
The sun is setting on Lake Superior as members of the Spin Collective dancers soak small kevlar orbs in fuel and set them afire. Then, wielding them at the end of chains or long metal arms, they begin twirling the orbs in what's called a poi dance.
