The Economic Footprint of Unions
in Los Angeles

In 2008 more than 350,000 workers – belonging to 30 local unions – will re-negotiate their union contracts. This is the largest number of workers negotiating in one year in the history of the L.A. Labor Movement.

These workers hail from key sectors reflecting the core of L.A.’s economy: actors, longshoremen, homecare workers, teachers and janitors. Check-out what the Economic Roundtable is saying about the economic impact of these fights in a recent study, "The Economic Footprint of Unions in Los Angeles."
