U.S. Settles Labor Dispute with Thai Farm Workers
Del Monte Fresh Produce reached a settlement involving more than 100 Thai Farm workers from Hawaii.
The workers will share a $1.2 million payout.
It is part of a settlement by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and several other farms and a labor contractor to improve working conditions for farm workers.
Anna Park, the attorney from the E.E.O.C district office in Los Angeles, described that this is a chronic problem in farm working conditions.
