“There were approximately 325,000 domestic workers in California in 2018, according to a UCLA Labor Center study. It also found that around 77% of domestic workers are typically low-wages.” buff.ly/429T1LH #InTheNews
Our 2020 report was a study of the experiences of workers in the domestic work sector and the economic vulnerabilities they face due to their employment status, low wages, and lack of benefits. 🔎

”The fires have destroyed the homes of thousands of people, but the blazes have also hurt many in the city's large immigrant workforce - people whose livelihoods depend on those homes that are now damaged or gone.” buff.ly/4hgb2we #InTheNews
”As the wildfires have raged across Los Angeles County, choking the air, closing schools and forcing tens of thousands of people to evacuate, employers and employees alike have had to manage a difficult balancing act between work and well being.” buff.ly/4g1MOEO
@WorkLifeLawCtr has compiled know-your-rights information and resources for wildfire impacted workers who are pregnant, parenting, or providing care to a loved one.

🚨 Attention California 🚨
Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) provides temporary benefits if your employment or self-employment has been lost or interrupted due to the L.A. wildfires. Apply here: edd.ca.gov/en/unemployment/d…
ALT Graphic with dark orange/red background showing wildfires. White text box in center reads 'Attention California: If you or a loved one have been impacted by the L.A. wildfires, you are eligible for DUA benefits.'
Know Your Rights ⚠️
Senate Bill 1044 prohibits retaliation from employers in the case of an employee refusing to work due to an emergency condition (such as an evacuation order). Not all classifications of employees are covered by SB 1044*
As the wildfires in Southern California continue and air quality worsens, it's crucial for workers to know their rights. 📢
Protect yourself and others by staying informed. ⚠
