Adelante con PEOC!

#workersrightswednesday Update: Victory in Pomona: A Win for Workers’ Rights!
On 5/19/25, the Pomona City Council and Mayor unanimously approved a motion to strengthen labor enforcement in our city. Instead of deputizing the City Attorney’s office, the city will now partner with the LA County District Attorney’s Office to apply for joint funding that will bring dedicated enforcement staff focused on labor violations right here in Pomona.
This is a win for workers across industries from #householdworkers to #daylaborers who are too often left without recourse when they experience wage theft.
PEOC will be directly involved in shaping this new enforcement model to ensure it stays:
✅ Worker-informed
✅ Centered on justice
✅ A safe resource for immigrant workers
Thank you for fighting with us. Together, we made this happen.
