UCLA Newsroom: UCLA Labor Center Compiles a ‘Mixtape’ to Share 60 Years of Worker Advocacy
For six decades, the UCLA Labor Center has served as a labor research engine and educational pathway behind some of the city’s and state’s most innovative labor policies, and its approaches are often cited as a model of what is possible when data is guided by worker and community needs.
In 2009, for example, the Labor Center incubated the nation’s first Black Worker Center to increase access to quality jobs and to reduce employment discrimination, led at the time by now state Sen. Lola Smallwood-Cuevas.
