Federal judge s ruling grants relief on farmworker wages

Federal judge’s ruling grants relief on farmworker wages By Mai Hoang, Yakima Herald-Republic Published: March 3, 2021, 11:30am Share: YAKIMA A federal judge has partially granted a farmworkers union’s request for relief from recently published wage data the union said would have led to a drastic drop in earnings. U.S. District Judge Sal J. Mendoza ruled that the U.S. Department of Labor must use 2020 prevailing wages and conduct a new wage survey. Such wages are used by agricultural employers to determine wages for foreign workers working in agricultural jobs through the H-2A program. Mendoza ruled that recently published prevailing wages from the U.S. Department of Labor were based on “methodologically unsound” employer survey data and would likely cause irreparable harm to farmworkers.

Spokane judge intervenes to stop farm workers wages decreasing

(Scott Olson/Getty Images) A federal judge in Richland brought down the gavel against a U.S. Department of Labor policy that would have resulted in Washington farm workers being paid less in the future. The Department of Labor was going to use the results of a national survey of agricultural employers done on a state-by-state basis to set minimum wages for farm workers this year. In many cases, this would have changed how farm workers were going to be paid. “Many of these wages changed from a piece rate to a minimum hourly rate at which the workers would earn a lot less money,” said Andrea Schmitt, an attorney with Columbia Legal Services, representing the plaintiffs.
