LOS ANGELES—Former Los Angeles City Councilman Gil Cedillo is suing the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor for invasion of privacy and “ruining his reputation,” claiming the union was responsible for a secret recording where racist language was used while discussing redistricting plans for the city, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The lawsuit was filed Oct. 6 in Los Angeles Superior Court, and while not yet processed by the clerk, the Los Angeles Times obtained a copy of the court receipt, the paper reported.
