Welcome to Uniontown! Brought to you by the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO and co-hosted by LA Fed President Ron Herrera and Political Coordinator Hugo Romero, we dive deep into the backstories of workers and the journey of iconic leaders from their first job to their greatest victory, in every aspect of the movement from Hollywood to the docks. Learn behind-the-scenes stories behind milestone moments and the not-ready-for-prime-time details behind everything from policy to protests. This is a place for unique American stories, stories of immigrants and outcasts, stories of the heartland, and the outliers. We hope you enjoy your stay.
