Labor Union’s New Leadership. A conversation with David Huerta, the newly-elected president of the Service Employees International Union in California. Huerta, who had a key role in the historic Justice for Janitors campaign in 1990, was recognized by President Obama as a Champion of Change for turning low-wage immigrant workers into advocates for change. In this conversation, he reflects on the decades-long fight against wage theft and a higher minimum wage, the “Great Resignation” impact on union organizing work, the efforts to get Covid protections for essential workers, immigration reform for the undocumented, and the Build Back Better package stuck in Congress.
Guest: David Huerta, President, SEIU California, Los Angeles, CA.
