L.A. City Council Joins Car Washers’ Fight For Justice - by James Parks, AFL-CIO NOW BLOG
The campaign by car wash employees for fair wages and decent work in the Los Angeles area gained a major boost yesterday when the Los Angeles City Council unanimously passed a resolution strongly endorsing efforts of car wash workers to secure just wages, safe working conditions and the freedom to organize a union.
