Hi everyone,

We are working on starting up outreach this year. Please message us if you'd like us to come to your farm, so we can arrange in advance safety measures for both you and us: masks, social distancing, and an outdoor space for the presentation!

In the meantime, we have been working on getting you information on COVID and how it affects you as you work this year. Scroll through the attached (the first 8 are in English and the second 8 in Spanish) to find out about your rights to a safe workplace and a safe home, paid sick leave, and what to do if you or a coworker is sick. We also cover new tax rules during COVID, health insurance, and what kinds of masks your employer should be giving you when working with pesticides during a nationwide mask shortage.

Call us with any questions at (845) 256-9096. As a reminder, this information is general and does not constitute legal advice. Call us directly to talk about your personal situation. Everything is confidential.
