Thank you for joining California’s Labor and Workforce Development Agency (LWDA) and 61 community organizations to celebrate the Worker Week of Action! The Worker Week of Action encouraged workers to learn about and better understand their rights related to workplace health & safety, retaliation, and worker leave and pay benefits.
This effort was a part of the COVID-19 Workplace Outreach Project (CWOP), a statewide effort to educate workers and employers in higher-risk industries on how to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the workplace. LWDA partnered with The Center at Sierra Health Foundation to support program strategy and administer contracts with selected community organizations. These 61 organizations effectively reached seven geographic regions–Central Coast, Imperial County, Los Angeles/Inland Empire/Orange County, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco Bay Area, and San Joaquin Central Valley–with a higher concentration of high-risk industries.
