CWOP — California Workplace Outreach ProjectCWOP — 加州職場外展計畫

California pays community nonprofits to be trusted messengers who teach immigrant and low-wage workers their rights at work — and help them act when something is wrong. A Chinese-serving center like CSC is exactly the bridge this program is built around. 加州出資讓社區非營利組織擔任可信賴的傳訊者,向移民與低薪勞工宣導他們在職場上的權利,並在出現問題時協助他們採取行動。像華埠服務中心這樣服務華人的機構,正是這項計畫所倚重的橋樑。

1. What it is1. 這是什麼

In plain language. CWOP pays community nonprofits to be "trusted messengers." The state hires organizations that immigrant and low-wage workers already trust, and those organizations go into the community to tell workers about their rights and workplace-safety protections — then help them act when something is wrong (wage theft, unsafe conditions, no paid sick leave, retaliation, on-the-job injuries). The state funds this because it cannot reach these workers directly: language barriers, distrust of government, and fear of employer or immigration retaliation get in the way. 用淺白的話說。CWOP 出資讓社區非營利組織擔任「可信賴的傳訊者」。州政府聘請那些移民與低薪勞工早已信任的組織,由這些組織深入社區,向勞工宣導他們的權利與職場安全保障,並在出現問題時(欠薪、不安全的工作環境、沒有帶薪病假、報復、工傷)協助他們採取行動。州政府之所以資助這項工作,是因為它無法直接接觸到這些勞工:語言障礙、對政府的不信任,以及對雇主或移民執法報復的恐懼,都是阻礙。

The key idea: a trusted messenger. A Chinese-serving CBO like CSC is exactly the bridge the program is built around — workers will open the door for us when they won't for the government. 核心概念:可信賴的傳訊者。像華埠服務中心這樣服務華人的社區組織,正是這項計畫所倚重的橋樑——勞工願意為我們開門,卻不會為政府開門。

Is it real and active? Yes. It is in an active two-year cycle (5.0 ≈ Jul 2025–Jun 2026; 6.0 ≈ Jul 2026–Jun 2027), awarded in summer 2025 and running now. A supplemental round for Program Year 2026-27 is open as of this writing. 它是真實且運作中的嗎?是的。它正處於一個為期兩年的活躍週期(5.0 約為 2025 年 7 月–2026 年 6 月;6.0 約為 2026 年 7 月–2027 年 6 月),於 2025 年夏季核發,目前正在執行。撰寫本文時,2026-27 計畫年度的補充申請輪次正開放中。

State or federal? STATE. It is run by the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) in partnership with the Labor & Workforce Development Agency (LWDA). DIR is the same state department that houses the enforcement offices workers get referred to: the Labor Commissioner's Office (DLSE) for wage theft, Cal/OSHA (DOSH) for safety, and the Division of Workers' Compensation (DWC) for injuries. Current funding comes from state budget bills SB 101 / AB 102. 是州政府還是聯邦政府?州政府。它由加州工業關係部(DIR)勞動與勞動力發展署(LWDA)合作執行。DIR 正是負責管理那些勞工被轉介前往的執法部門的州級單位:負責欠薪的勞工事務專員辦公室(DLSE)、負責安全的加州職業安全衛生署(Cal/OSHA, DOSH),以及負責工傷的勞工賠償處(DWC)。目前的經費來自州預算法案 SB 101 / AB 102。

Where it came from. CWOP started in 2020 as the COVID-19 Workplace Outreach Project, launched by LWDA to reach pandemic-affected workers about safety and paid sick leave. It partnered with about 62 community groups and, between Feb 2021 and May 2022, had two-way conversations with roughly 1.9 million workers (about 300% of the state's goal). It was then renamed and broadened from COVID to all workplace issues — heat illness, wage theft, retaliation, paid sick leave, workers' comp — and is now described as the largest worker-rights public-education effort in California's history. 它的由來。CWOP 於 2020 年以新冠肺炎職場外展計畫之名展開,由 LWDA 推出,目的是向受疫情影響的勞工宣導安全與帶薪病假。它與約 62 個社區團體合作,並在 2021 年 2 月至 2022 年 5 月間,與約 190 萬名勞工進行了雙向對話(約為州政府目標的 300%)。後來它更名並從新冠議題擴展到所有職場議題——熱病、欠薪、報復、帶薪病假、勞工賠償——如今被視為加州史上規模最大的勞工權利公眾教育行動。

How the money flows to CSC經費如何流向華埠服務中心

There are two patterns, and CSC could be under either: 有兩種模式,華埠服務中心可能屬於其中任一種:

CA DIR / LWDA (state)加州工業關係部 / 勞動力發展署(州)

confirm internally需內部確認 Does CSC hold a direct DIR grant, or is CSC a subgrantee under a Regional Lead? This decides who we report to and invoice. Also confirm CSC's award amount. confirm internally需內部確認 華埠服務中心持有的是 DIR 直接補助,還是區域主導機構底下的次級受款者?這決定了我們向誰回報與請款。同時也請確認華埠服務中心的補助金額

2. Organization / grantee view2. 機構 / 受款者的角度

This is CSC as the recipient — the roles, the numbers it must hit, what it can and cannot bill for, and how it reports. 這是以華埠服務中心作為受款者的角度——它的角色、必須達成的數字、哪些可以核銷、哪些不行,以及如何回報。

The grantee roles受款者的角色

Role角色 Max award (12 mo.)最高補助(12 個月) What it covers涵蓋內容
Activator外展執行者 $200,000 Direct outreach only — canvassing, phone banking, outreach at events / high-traffic spots, meetings; plus one-way materials (flyers, social media, PSAs, ethnic media).僅限直接外展——逐戶拜訪、電話聯繫、在活動 / 人潮密集處外展、會議;以及單向宣傳品(傳單、社群媒體、公益廣告、族裔媒體)。
Activator Plus進階外展執行者 $350,000 Activator work plus at least one of: coordinating events, direct worker support, trainings, technical assistance to other CBOs.外展執行者的工作,再加上至少一項:籌辦活動、直接協助勞工、培訓、對其他社區組織提供技術協助。
Legal Services法律服務 $500,000 Legal consultation / claim support; must serve ≥100 unique workers at full funding.法律諮詢 / 申訴協助;在足額補助下須服務至少 100 名不重複的勞工。
Outreach Tools外展工具 $300,000 Build tools (e.g., wage calculators) shared free with the state and all grantees.開發工具(如薪資計算器),免費提供給州政府與所有受款者。
Communications Support傳播支援 $300,000 Asset development and/or Indigenous-language interpretation.素材開發及/或原住民語言口譯。
Regional Lead區域主導機構 (varies)(金額不一) Coordinates and subgrants to CBOs across a region.協調區內各社區組織並向其轉發補助。

confirm internally需內部確認 CSC is almost certainly an Activator or Activator Plus (in-language community outreach), but confirm the exact role and award. confirm internally需內部確認 華埠服務中心幾乎可以確定是外展執行者或進階外展執行者(以母語進行的社區外展),但請確認確切的角色與補助金額。

Performance metrics — exactly what gets counted績效指標——究竟計算什麼

These are the literal deliverable lines a grantee reports against. As an outreach specialist, these are the numbers your daily work produces. 這些是受款者實際回報的成果項目。身為外展專員,這些正是你每天的工作所產出的數字。

Activator lines:外展執行者項目:

Activator Plus adds:進階外展執行者另加:

Thresholds to know:須知的門檻:

Referrals to enforcement are the core "win." "Direct support" means helping a worker prepare / file a claim or complaint with a DIR division — Labor Commissioner (wage theft), Cal/OSHA (safety), DWC (workers' comp) — or resolve it informally with the employer. At the program level the state tracks aggregate "touchpoints" (about 5 million statewide in 2023-24). 轉介至執法部門是核心的「成果」。「直接協助」指的是協助勞工向 DIR 旗下部門準備 / 提出申訴或投訴——勞工事務專員(欠薪)、Cal/OSHA(安全)、DWC(勞工賠償)——或與雇主非正式地解決問題。在計畫層級,州政府追蹤總體的「接觸點」(2023-24 年度全州約 500 萬次)。

confirm internally需內部確認 CSC's specific target number for each line above. The RFA sets the categories and maximums; the negotiated numbers live in CSC's Statement of Work. confirm internally需內部確認 上述每一項,華埠服務中心的具體目標數字。申請須知(RFA)訂定類別與上限;協商後的數字則載於華埠服務中心的工作說明書(Statement of Work)。

Reporting & data回報與資料

3. Individual / client view — who "qualifies"3. 個人 / 服務對象的角度——誰「符合資格」

Key distinction: CWOP is outreach and education, not a means-tested benefit. A worker does not have to prove income or fill out an eligibility form to receive information or help. Targeting is by vulnerability, industry, language, and geography — not documented income. 關鍵區別:CWOP 是外展與教育,而非須審查收入的福利。勞工不需要證明收入或填寫資格表格,就能獲得資訊或協助。鎖定對象的依據是弱勢程度、行業、語言與地區——而非有憑證的收入。

Who the outreach is meant to reach: vulnerable, low-wage workers — especially immigrant and limited-English workers, farmworkers, day laborers, and people in hazardous jobs — regardless of immigration status. 外展的目標對象:弱勢的低薪勞工——尤其是移民與英語能力有限的勞工、農場工人、日工,以及從事危險工作的人——不論移民身分為何。

Priority high-violation industries: agriculture, car wash, food processing, restaurants / grocery / retail, janitorial & hospitality, warehouse / logistics, garment & manufacturing, residential care, non-union construction, fast food. 優先處理的高違規行業:農業、洗車、食品加工、餐廳 / 雜貨 / 零售、清潔與餐旅、倉儲 / 物流、成衣與製造、住宿型照護、非工會營建、速食。

Documentation collected from workers. Public sources do not specify a required per-worker intake form. Grantees count interactions and report aggregate numbers into CORD. When you give "direct support," you help a worker gather documents for their own claim — that paperwork belongs to the worker's case, not to a program eligibility file. 向勞工蒐集的文件。公開資料並未指明須使用每名勞工的固定接案表格。受款者計算互動次數,並將總體數字回報至 CORD。當你提供「直接協助」時,你是協助勞工為他自己的申訴蒐集文件——那些文件屬於該勞工的案件,而非屬於某個計畫的資格檔案。

confirm internally需內部確認 What per-worker intake / consent data CSC collects and how it maps to CORD fields. confirm internally需內部確認 華埠服務中心針對每名勞工蒐集哪些接案 / 同意資料,以及它如何對應到 CORD 的欄位。

4. What this means for ME, an Outreach Specialist4. 這對「我」(外展專員)的意義

There is no public job description for this title under CWOP — but the deliverable structure tells you exactly what your work must produce and log. Think of every conversation and every flyer as a counted unit. CWOP 底下並沒有這個職稱的公開職務說明——但成果項目的架構,已明確告訴你你的工作必須產出與記錄什麼。把每一次對話、每一張傳單,都當成一個會被計算的單位。

Count and tag every…計算並標記每一項……

Document with discipline嚴謹地做記錄

How to use this grant in your role. CWOP is what lets you spend paid time doing community outreach, running know-your-rights sessions, and walking a worker through a wage-theft or safety complaint. The "product" the state is buying is trusted, in-language contact that ends in workers knowing and acting on their rights — your job is to make that contact happen and to record it accurately. 如何在你的職務中運用這項補助。CWOP 讓你能把有支薪的工作時間用在社區外展、舉辦「了解你的權利」講座,以及一步步帶領勞工處理欠薪或安全投訴。州政府所購買的「產品」,是以母語進行、值得信賴、最終讓勞工了解並落實自身權利的接觸——你的工作就是促成這種接觸,並準確地把它記錄下來。

confirm internally需內部確認 CSC's monthly numeric targets per line, the CORD login / contact, and whether CSC reports directly to DIR or through a Regional Lead. confirm internally需內部確認 華埠服務中心每項目的每月數字目標、CORD 的登入帳號 / 聯絡窗口,以及華埠服務中心是直接向 DIR 回報還是透過區域主導機構回報。

5. Implications for my San Gabriel Valley clients5. 對我聖蓋博谷服務對象的意義

How to explain it simply (suggested script)如何簡單地說明(建議說法)

"California pays our center to help workers like you understand your rights at work — for free. If your boss isn't paying you correctly, the job is unsafe, or you got hurt, we can explain your rights and help you file a complaint. We help everyone, no matter your immigration status, and we keep your information private." 「加州出資讓我們中心免費協助像你這樣的勞工了解你在職場上的權利。如果你的老闆沒有正確付你薪水、工作不安全,或你受了傷,我們可以說明你的權利,並協助你提出投訴。不論你的移民身分為何,我們都幫助每一個人,而且我們會為你的資料保密。」
