Current Narrative:
The State Monitor Advocate and strategically placed outreach staff serve as ambassadors for the Wagner-Peyser complaint system, promoting this process to employers and the general public. They actively promote the complaint system through their outreach efforts with organizations that serve farmworkers and employers. Within WorkSource centers, customers are also informed of their right to file a complaint by staff and through posters and brochures that are displayed.
All ASWS Compliance Specialists have received training regarding the ES Complaint System from the State Monitor Advocate. The ASWS unit is committed to the efficient and lawful processing of apparent violations and worker complaints and concerns. During ASWS field visits, workers and employers receive information pertaining to the ES Complaint System, including contact information for local ASWS and one-stop complaint specialists.
