We look at how L.A. could be affected by a Supreme Court ruling on whether a citizenship question can be part of the 2020 Census. Plus, California's new body cam law takes effect on July 1.
Supermarket Strike Vote
Earlier today, grocery store workers at Vons, Ralphs and Albertsons voted to give their union leaders the authority to strike. Note, this does not mean a strike is imminent or will even happen. But it does give officials the leverage to call for a walkout at any time. And considering the last big supermarket strike in LA sixteen years ago was hugely disruptive for the workers, the stores and their customers, we thought we'd check in on what's happening.
