Many California workers are eligible for COVID-19 paid sick leave. Is the law being enforced?

The central San Joaquin Valley’s top labor organizations say they want to see stricter enforcement of the COVID-19 paid sick leave law and other labor regulations.

Worker advocates also say they want to see better outreach about labor rights to rural farmworkers, as well as people who don’t speak English or Spanish, such as those who speak Punjabi, Hmong and Indigenous languages. Some say that few of the Central Valley’s rural workers even know they are entitled to retroactive COVID-19 paid sick leave.

“Our experience is that none of them (rural farmworkers) know about it,” Perfecto Muñoz of the West Modesto Collaborative said during a Tuesday meeting in Fresno with California labor agency officials. “Somebody has to enforce (the law).”

As part of the COVID-19 Workplace Outreach Project Worker Week of Action, labor groups — including representatives from Central Valley organizations such as Valley Voices, United Farm Workers, Jakara Movement, California Rural Legal Assistance, Centro Binacional para el Desarrollo Indígena and others — told state officials that many of the region’s low-wage workers are not receiving COVID-19 supplemental paid sick leave. They also said that they wanted to see strengthened enforcement of farmworker overtime pay and wage violations, as well as heat and smoke regulations.

The 2022 COVID-19 Supplemental Paid Sick Leave was signed into law on Feb. 9. The law says that in workplaces with 26 or more employees, workers are eligible for up to 80 hours of leave if they have to take time off of work due to COVID-19. This is in addition to leave provided under previous laws, which expired on Sept. 30.

Recovering from a nasty case of Gates, Fauci, Depopulation Virus (aka “Covid”) gave this nearly exhausted 82 year-old curmudgeon time to consider how to best advance the individual liberty for which he’s fought for over 50+ of those years.
I kept returning to the well known concept that the replacement of one idea for another requires a minimum of 7 exposures to a new one. It’s the same process the leftist media uses to keep us from drifting back into - for them & their globalist oligarch overlords - dangerous late 1700 thoughts of the sort that moved 56 brave men to defy a King and establish this place on concepts we have now foolishly abandoned. The abandonment of those concepts will be little noted by the 30 something Marxists coming behind us as they were never taught them.
The plan?
I’ve been reviewing most of my library of admittedly unprofessional “home’ videos and believe they are simple enough to possibly “reach” some of the less intensely “INDOCTRINATED” thirty somethings who, after 2 years of living under the ever-tightening noose of the Marxism they were brainwashed to worship, may now be questioning if we CAN stop before we reach Stalin’s Russia.
I’ll be randomly sending this cover email with 1 or 2 links to some of those ‘home” videos. (There WILL be RANDOM REPEATS: The 7 IMPRESSIONS CONCEPT.)
Pass them along or delete them as the spirit moves you.
Hope you have all survived the latest attempt to capture or kill those still resisting. Those efforts have only begun: They still have 5 BILLION of us to “dispatch”.
