According to the Los Angeles Police Department, officers “met with a large crowd of peaceful labor union protesters near the intersection of Century Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard.”
LOS ANGELES — Two Los Angeles City Council members were among about 200 people arrested at a large union rally in support of hospitality workers that forced the closure of a major artery in and out of Los Angeles International Airport.
By about 5 p.m., however, the rally had spilled to both sides of the street, with police reporting the eastbound side of Century had also been closed. “Ensuring public safety and maintaining order was paramount to the LAPD’s response while respecting all parties’ rights,” an LAPD statement said. “The LAPD commends the professionalism and restraint demonstrated by its officers throughout the operation. We extend our gratitude to the community members and residents for their cooperation in this matter,” police said.In a statement, Soto-Martinez said, “People are being priced out of their homes and have to commute for hours to work. A single mother who works as a housekeeper has to work 17 hours a day to afford housing in this city.
