California's COVID-19 Workplace Outreach Project aimed to educate low-wage agriculture workers about their labor rights and resources available during the pandemic. A recent report from UC Berkeley's Possibility Lab found that many workers lack knowledge about state labor agencies designed to protect them. While some recognized Cal-OSHA, a significant number were unfamiliar with crucial resources like the Labor Commissioner's Office and the Division of Workers' Compensation. Additionally, about 80% of respondents expressed reluctance to file formal complaints due to fears of retaliation and doubts about effectiveness, indicating higher trust in personal networks for assistance.
