MEDIA RELEASE: Legal Aid of North Carolina Farmworker Unit and North Carolina Justice Center reach settlement with agricultural employers in human trafficking case
RALEIGH (April 20, 2022) – In March, Legal Aid of North Carolina and the North Carolina Justice Center assisted ten migrant farmworkers in obtaining court approval for the final settlement in their human trafficking case. The ten agricultural workers were employed through the federal H2A visa program. They filed the complaint against the labor contractor and the growers for whom they worked, alleging that the contractor enticed the workers to pay large recruitment fees for the opportunity to work lawfully in the United States for his farm labor contracting business. The workers arrived in North Carolina to find little available work and substandard living conditions. (Click here to read the full release.)
