About Us
The PEOC is a non-profit day labor organization whose mission is to provide an opportunity for day laborers to find safe work at a fair wage, to obtain new trades and skills that improve their employability and quality of life, and to improve the overall conditions for all immigrant workers.
The PEOC is made up of day laborers, household workers, other low-wage, immigrant workers, community leaders, Pomona residents, students from Claremont Colleges, and supporters of worker and immigrants rights coalition leaders.
