Administrative History
The Western Labor Communications Association (WLCA), founded in 1965 as the California Labor Press Association (CLPA), provided informational and educational support for labor publications, labor-oriented radio and television programs, and later, electronic media. During its existence, the WLCA hosted annual conferences and journalism contests, and provided resources to help raise the profile of California's labor press publications.
On June 16, 2006, the WLCA was officially dissolved and their treasury was turned over to the International Labor Communications Association (ILCA), the AFL-CIO umbrella organization for labor communications.
