The Commission on the Los Angeles Grocery Industry and Community Health was formed to examine conditions in one of the city’s largest and most important economic sectors. The Commission, which brings together faith, business, elected and health care leaders from diverse backgrounds, was established at the request of the Los Angeles Grocery Workers and Community Health Coalition, an alliance of community, labor and faith-based organizations dedicated to ensuring that the grocery industry continues to be a source of stable, middle-class employment and that the industry serves the needs of residents in all parts of the city.
