Fresno Co. farm accused of wage below $2

 

A farmworker advocacy group is suing H&R Gunlund Ranches, saying the Fresno County farm didn't pay 29 former workers minimum wage and overtime.

In the lawsuit, filed Thursday in Fresno County Superior Court, California Rural Legal Assistance accuses the farm of paying workers less than $2 an hour.

The workers were fired in November after speaking out about not receiving all of their money and asking for a raise.
