MIGRANT WORKERS SUE EMPLOYER UNDER MSPA AND WIN MILLIONS
California and federal labor laws protect migrant workers rights. Whether you are working in the field or on a farm, you have the law on your side. MSPA, a federal law, is designed to protect migrant employees for being exploited by their bosses. No matter what, you deserve to be paid the CA minimum wage. Additionally, you might be able to receive overtime if you qualify for it. An experienced employment attorney can help you determine what your specific rights at work are.
When migrant workers at a tree-planting company were allegedly paid less than the minimum wage and not paid for all hours worked, they stood up for their legal rights. Even those these workers were from Mexico and South America, and not American citizens, they are still protected under the law. They sued their employer and won one of the largest settlements in MSPA history: over $2.5 million dollars. The law is on your side!
