Abuse of 1,200 farmworkers nets Eastern WA contractor six-figure fine
The Washington State Department of Labor & Industries has fined a Yakima Valley farm labor contractor nearly $700,000 for extensive mistreatment of workers at farms throughout the Mid-Columbia.
The allegations against Superbee Contracting LLC of Moxee follow a separate criminal case against a closely-related company, Harvest Plus LLC.
In the Harvest Plus case, the Tri-City executives face criminal charges in U.S. District Court for Eastern Washington with illegally recruiting 500 Mexican workers to Eastern Washington after lying on its H-2A visa paperwork.
