The LA Labor 411 Mission
The LA Labor 411 directory helps us in this effort. It provides greater visibility to local unions while helping unions connect with the larger market, political allies and the community at large. By going to union decision makers, union-friendly vendors and powerful friends of organized labor, LA Labor 411’s directory of union services reaches a committed — and influential — audience. The LA Labor 411 union/business print directory is a one-stop resource for people who want to buy union-made goods and services. Affiliate ListingsLA County Federation affiliates are encouraged to have their organization’s contact information published in the directory. Union officers can sign up by filling out our quick on-line form: Company Listings and Advertising

The Fight for Good Jobs hits at the heart of what is wrong with Los Angeles - a diminishing middle class, a place where 3.7 million live in poverty, home to the low wage Capital of the country and a place where the dream of owning a home is often unattainable. Today, one third of the county's 3 million full-time workers earn less than $25,000 a year, an income not even near the $133,506 needed to purchase a median priced home.
Wages for LA's 800,000
union members total
$34 billion a year. Earning
on average, 27% more than
non-union counterparts.
Promoting union-related products helps affiliates and raises the standard of living for all Angelenos.
LA's union members
account for 30%
of the county's economic
output - $113 billion.
