Septiembre 18, 2024
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.
