A history of helping State of Minnesota Supervisors

Middle Management Association (“MMA”) is an independent unaffiliated public employee union which represents almost 3000 supervisors employed by the State of Minnesota.

In the rewritten law the Legislature defined the allowable bargaining units for State employees. One of these units was called the “Supervisory Employees Unit”. Soon after passage of this law, MMA filed for an election asking to be chosen as the representative of all State supervisors in all agencies at all levels. In the election that followed, State supervisors voted overwhelmingly for representation and selected MMA to be their exclusive representative.

Since our inception in 1981, MMA has achieved great advances for State of Minnesota supervisors. Through bargaining, MMA has…

• Received 5.5% and 4.5% wage increases for the 2023 – 2025 contract.

• Assisted in negotiating a deferred compensation match of $400.

• Advocated in establishing the health care savings plan (HCSP).

• A vacation conversion option versus only a match to deferred compensation.

• Different severance pay formulas producing higher severance benefits.

• Equitable wages and health insurance benefits.

• Continual representation of supervisors’ interests at joint labor management committee.

• Experienced professionals representing supervisors in disciplinary investigations, grievance meetings, mediation, and arbitrations.
