LA County Federation of Labor Scam
Wow, you know it happens, but when you actually hear it, it's unbelievable. The labor movement is in bed with City Hall. All you have to do is look close and listen to the recording I just received of LA Fed President Ron Herrera and Nury Martinez (no relation, lol). Someone helped me connect the dots earlier this month.
- Herb Wesson contributed $100,000 to a non-profit organization that's run by the LA County Federation of Labor at the beginning of 2021 when Wesson was on city council. Maybe 2020.
- A couple months later, his son, Justin Wesson gets the Chief of Staff job at the LA fed without having any background in the labor movement.
- A couple months later, a staffer for Monica Rodriguez named Rosie Cruz, gets a job at the LA Federation of Labor
- The LA Federation of Labor gets a $20,000,000 government grant and hires Nury Martinez's field coordinator, Andres Sandoval
- Martin Ludlow gets multiple contracts with the LA fed. Remember him? He and Miguel Contreras were investigated for fraud and Contreras would have gone to jail if he didn't die first.
- The wife of Justin Wesson works as the Chief of Staff for Nury Martinez, Alexis Wesson.
- If Rick Caruso wins the Mayor's race, he will clean house at City Hall, including making sure Nury Martinez is out. That would put Wesson out of a job. So, the LA Fed is putting all it's money in Karen Bass's campaign.
- Rumor is, Justin Wesson left his post in July to focus on fundraising for Karen Bass, BUT apparently he's still on payroll at the LA Federation of labor.

Los Angeles police officers recently searched the Eagle Rock home of two people who have worked at the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, as part of their investigation into a secret audio recording that dramatically upended City Hall politics last year.
A search warrant was served earlier this month at the home of Santos Leon and Karla Vasquez, who are married and were employed by the federation when the recording was made, according to a source familiar with the probe, who has knowledge of the warrant but is not authorized to speak publicly. Leon’s computers were taken by police, the person said.
Recording conversations without a person’s consent is illegal in California, with rare exceptions, and can be pursued as a felony. The warrant cited the penal codes for eavesdropping and destroying or concealing evidence, the source said.
