Current Narrative:
Information on the ES Complaint System is an integral part of the outreach workers’ educational toolkit and is shared with MSFWs and the advocacy organizations. The Significant MSFW AJCC staff receive training on the ES Complaint System. The MAO revised the ES Complaint System Manual and provides technical assistance to the system users during on–site monitoring reviews. A website is available with training modules, forms and instructions, and webinars. The Workforce3One training modules are among the various trainings available on this site.
In accordance with TEGL 8-17, the MAO continues to discuss with the NFJP grantees to publicize the ES Complaint System including efforts to refer any complaints or apparent violations to the nearest AJCC EDD complaint specialist that serves agricultural employers. In addition, the EDD reserved up to $150,000 of Wagner-Peyser 10 percent Governor’s Discretionary funds through the Campesino de California Outreach Grant – Complaint System Awareness and Referral Program. The goal of this initiative is to create partnership with the NFJPs to expand access points to the Employment Service and Employment-Related Laws Complaint System. The MAO continues to work with federal and state enforcement agencies to help enforce employment laws and address complaints related to labor law violations.
