LA Labor Celebrates Appointment of Alex Padilla to US Senate

Statement from Ron Herrera, President of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor on the appointment of Alex Padilla to the vacant Senate seat held by Vice President-elect Kamala Harris:

“Alex Padilla has been a strong supporter of union members and the everyday working people of California.  As a son of working-class immigrants, he has personally experienced the struggles that millions have felt across our country and has built his career on empathy and inclusivity. Since his time at the Los Angeles City Council, he has stood with all workers, from janitors to teachers to engineers, and understands the value of collective bargaining. Working families can celebrate knowing there is a true champion in Washington D.C. on their side.”
