AZ Company Pays Close to $1 Million Over H-2A Guest Worker Violations Eurofresh, Inc. agreed to pay $937,000 in back wages to 587 U.S. workers after a Department of Labor investigation found violations of hiring practices under the H-2A agricultural guest worker program. "The violations cited include illegally terminating 527 U.S. workers and failing to notify the local employment office of the action; failing to provide pay or work for three-quarters of the required time period to 45 U.S. workers; failing to offer housing to 80 U.S. workers; and making illegal paycheck deductions from 82 U.S. workers. The employer also failed to provide more than 800 U.S. workers with copies of the H-2A work contract or job order which provides workers with the terms and conditions of their employment," a press release from DOL said.
Denver May Make Random Contractor Checks After Illegal Workers Found The City of Denver will make random checks of city contractors after illegal workers were found on several city job sites. Colorado has an E-verify requirement, but the contractor found hiring illegal aliens had escaped through several loopholes in the law.
9th Circuit Rules Against Mass Immigration Hearings The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against mass hearings for illegal immigrants caught crossing the border illegally. "In a 19-page ruling, U.S. Circuit Judge John T. Noonan, said the mass hearings were understandable, given the number of immigration cases," the AP reported. "Abstractly considered, the shortcut is not only understandable but reasonable," Noonan's ruling said. "The shortcut, however, does not comply with Rule 11. We cannot permit this rule to be disregarded in the name of efficiency nor to be violated because it is too demanding for a district court to observe."
Another Legal Victory in Arizona, Notification Law Upheld Arizona's Supreme Court refused an appeal of a law requiring public employers to report all illegal immigrants they come in contact with. The law makes non-compliance or willful ignorance a misdemeanor.
