Mexican workers sue Washington fruit company over wages
Tagged: Mexico, Washington
Nine farmworkers recruited from Mexico last year by a Selah fruit company have filed suit in federal court, claiming the company failed to disclose tougher work requirements in their employment contract, which lowered their wages below federal minimums.
Northwest Justice Project of Yakima, a nonprofit legal-aid group, and a Seattle law firm filed the lawsuit last week in U.S. District Court in Yakima against Zirkle Fruit Co. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of workers hired under the federal H-2A program.”*
