L.A. County's largest and most powerful labor organization is bracing for one of its busiest years in recent history as contracts for more than 200,000 union workers are up for renegotiation. Daily News.

While Maria Elena Durazo has kept a low profile this past year as the new secretary-treasurer of the county federation, she has used the time to solidify her position - and the union's - for the discussions ahead.
