In 1989, María Elena Durazo became the first Latina to lead a major Los Angeles union. She began reorienting the local towards greater membership participation and a more assertive stance with employers. Since then, Local 11 merged with locals in Santa Monica, Long Beach, and Orange County, and in 2016, with Local 631 in Arizona.plain2022-01-04T23:29:44+00:001989Gina Leonf0ac362b4453e23ee8a94b1a49fbeeafde2a0a49
