Don’t risk your health or your life, exercise your right to work in a safe and healthy environment in the heat

October 3, 2024

LEER EN ESPAÑOL

Just four days after he began working on a sugar cane farm in Belle Glade, Florida, a 26-year-old Mexican H-2A worker died of heatstroke while on the job. The man had been working in the 97 degree Fahrenheit (36 degrees Celsius) heat for several hours. His employer did not provide him or his coworkers with important protections against the brutal heat, like breaks or time to acclimate to the heat. He had been experiencing symptoms of heat stress, and he complained that he did not feel well before he collapsed. Soon after, he died of heat stroke.

Dangerous and illegal child labor, millions in wages stolen from California poultry plant workers. Check if you are owed back pay! 

September 18, 2024

LEER EN ESPAÑOL

After poultry workers stood up and reported illegal working conditions to the government, a federal court in Los Angeles decided one of the largest wage violation settlements ever for U.S. poultry workers. The federal court ordered the owners and operators of several California poultry processors and distributors to pay $4.8 million in back pay and damages to 476 workers. They also had to pay $221,919 in fines after an investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) found that the companies had violated many employment laws, including regulations on child labor.
