I want to share an excerpt from a letter by one producer who is experiencing such a problem. We seem to continually be subject to one or two harassment or new precedent setting lawsuits. despite our best efforts to be good and far above average farm labor employers. Currently. we are working toward settlement (estimated at $20.000 plus my $15.000 legal fees) over wage payments and MISWAPA (Migrant Seasonal Worker Agriculture Protection Act) violations on employees that never. we believe. worked for either us or our labor contractor. We survived wage and housing scrutiny during the season and yet two years later without any notification we are sent a copy of a suit filed against us by a group of people who claim they worked for us and were not properly paid. Naturally they claim record keeping violation because how can we have payroll records on people who didnt work.
