"After seven years of legal battling, 66 farmworkers from Mexico’s Colima state have been fully paid for work in orchards and vineyards in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
Even though the workers’ claims have been settled, a farm labor contractor and four growers continue to deny allegations the workers made in lawsuits that they were cheated out of pay and subjected to inhumane conditions.
The last of the settlements was reached in April, and two lawsuits in Sacramento federal court were dismissed last month. The final tally: $685,000 paid by the defendants; $491,871 to the workers as wages, penalties and interest, and $193,129 to their attorneys as fees and expenses.
Growers Greene & Hemly in Courtland paid $230,000; Van Ruiten Brothers in Lodi, $90,000; Vino Farms in Lodi, $180,000; and Islands Inc. in Walnut Grove, $45,000. Farm labor contractor SGLC Inc. in Galt paid $140,000." - Sacramento Bee, July 18, 2015.
