The Los Angeles County Federation of Labor (LACFL) is the umbrella organization for an alliance of hundreds of affiliated local labor unions and labor organizations in Los Angeles County, California. It was established in 1894. The LACFL is the local-level central body which is affiliated with the state-level, California Labor Federation (previously California State Federation of Labor) as well as the national-level, American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO). Their mission is to support organized labor and collective bargaining in order to improve the lives of workers. They also work to ensure that progressive political leaders who support workers' rights are elected to office. Los Angeles County Federation of Labor Collection (cdlib.org)
