Teachers Union Leads Coalition Demanding A ‘Real’ Lockdown In Los Angeles

A broad coalition of labor unions representing tens of thousands of workers has demanded that elected leaders in Los Angeles County impose a more restrictive lockdown next month that would be similar to what the area’s ten million residents experienced last spring.

On Wednesday, the alliance launched an online petition that included a letter to the powerful L.A. County Board of Supervisors “calling for an urgent circuit breaker to suppress the spread of COVID-19 and save lives.”
