The Duluth Central Labor Body announced today its board voted to disassociate itself from the Occupy Duluth movement.

The decision came after Occupy Duluth publicly opposed the PolyMet mining project.

On December 6th, Occupy Duluth members were among those protesting outside the Kitchi Gammi Club where a Polymet CEO was speaking.

The Central Labor Body's president said the decision was almost unanimous, and the Occupy Duluth group has moved away from their original reasons for supporting them.

The labor body represents more than 17,000 union members in the Duluth region.
