On Friday, January 14, the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor honored Alvin Turner and Baxter Leach at our annual MLK Jr. Labor Breakfast. Turner and Leach are two former rank-and-file AFSCME Memphis sanitation workers and veterans of the historic 1968 Memphis sanitation strike where Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. They were presented awards by two of our rank-and-file Los Angeles sanitation workers and member of the Teamsters Local 396, Maurice Thomas and Derek Gentry.

On October 2, 2010, we kicked-off our precinct walks with 175 volunteers following the One Nation Working Together California events at LA Community College.

It was a rainy January morning, but the labor movement turned out big, and walked the parade route, and thousands of people attended the day's events.
