A significant majority of California voters support paid sick leave, medical benefits, and replacement wages for farmworkers who contract COVID-19, according to a new poll by Berkeley's Institute of Governmental Studies. The support applies to undocumented farmworkers, as well, with 79% of respondents supporting equitable pay regardless of immigration status. More than 90% of respondents support employers' provision of hand-washing stations, personal protective gear, and workplace rules allowing for physical distancing among the workers.
