L.A. Stories | Documenting the History of Labor Movements in Los Angeles

L.A. recently gained attention as a hub of organized labor activity, but its culture of community-lead social change emerged long before 2023's "Hot Labor Summer."
In the first installment of L.A. Stories, a new UCLA Library series, Tobias Higbie, UCLA Professor of History and Labor Studies, and Vivian Rothstein, retired Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy (LAANE) and UNITE HERE Local 11 organizer, discuss labor movements in Los Angeles over the years and the role of UCLA Library in preserving this important history.
