Hundreds of Minneapolis park workers went on strike on Thursday — the first walkout in the park system's 141-year history.

After seven months of contract negotiations, about 100 union members and supporters rallied and marched Thursday in northeast Minneapolis, kicking off what could be a weeklong strike.

The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board gave what it said was its "last, best and final offer" Monday before the workers' contract expired Tuesday.

The Laborers' International Union of North America (LIUNA) Local 363 said it hasn't reached tentative agreements on any of its proposals, including improvements to health care, safety procedures and pay raises.

"These are not unreasonable demands. These are basic rights that every working person deserves," said arborist AJ Lange, who serves as business manager for Local 363, which represents more than 200 employees and more than 100 seasonal workers.
