Protections include, rights to a safe and healthy workplace, a workplace free of discrimination or harassment, rights to be paid for hours worked, and protection from retaliation due to immigration status. They also showcase their newly expanded website which provides information in eight languages. Chinese, Tagalog, Spanish, Arabic, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, Vietnamese, and English. June 18, 2024.
