Labor unions' influence in LA's 2026 mayoral race is fading, weakening their traditional political power.
Labor unions' influence in Los Angeles’s 2026 mayoral race is waning, challenging their traditional political dominance.
While Mayor Karen Bass retains support from the county Federation of Labor and some public employee unions, key groups like the carpenters and electrical workers are lukewarm due to disputes over housing rules, utility appointments, and pension policies.
Her main challenger, Councilwoman Nithya Raman, faces strong union opposition, labeled a “political opportunist,” reflecting internal labor divisions.
