An Ongoing Demand for Los Angeles
Despite the stark disparities faced by Black Angelenos, two factors continue to contribute the economic and social stability of the Black middle class in Los Angeles: public sector jobs and the unions that represent public sector employees.
The report is the result of a collaboration between the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, Advancement Project California and the Los Angeles Black Workers Center, as well as six member unions of the LA Fed whose members agreed to be surveyed. Those unions are: AFSCME 741, AFSCME 2325, AFSCME 3090, AFSCME 3947, SEIU 721, and SEIU 1000.
