Earlier last month ALRB staff conducted outreach to farmworkers in the fields in Oxnard. Staff also participated in a Press Conference and Labor Caravan to inform agricultural workers about their rights around sick leave, retaliation, heat illness, and workplace injuries. The following day we conducted outreach to workers attending Mixteco/Indigena Community Organizing Project (MICOP)'s food distribution.
