The U.S. Department of Labor has obtained an injunction order against G Farms and three other defendants for providing unsafe housing to workers under the H-2A visa program.
The federally-mandated agricultural visa program which allows foreign laborers to come to the United States for work is under increasing scrutiny because of low wages, unsafe living conditions and employee abuse.
The U.S. Department of Labor has obtained its first preliminary injunction order under the H-2A visa program after investigators discovered G Farms provided “dangerous and substandard” living conditions to Mexican farmworkers in El Mirage, Ariz.
