More from KPFA on today's impromptu labor action that stopped the Public Works meeting. You can see Houston, who later vowed to get to the bottom of why so many workers were allowed into the chambers, was very unhappy because only supports police labor

Charlene Wang says a legal claim filed by a disgruntled police hiring company is inaccurate and omits significant context.
