LOS ANGELES—Los Angeles City Councilman Kevin de León has joined his former colleague, Gil Cedillo, in suing two ex-employees of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor in connection with the 2022 release of a secret recording where racially charged language was used during a discussion of redistricting plans for the city, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Like Mr. Cedillo, Mr. de León filed his lawsuit Oct. 6 in Los Angeles Superior Court and used some of the same language alleging the recording was an invasion of privacy and the result of negligence, the newspaper said.
