Current and former employees of Bee Sweet Citrus Inc. filed a class-action complaint on Thursday in the Eastern District of California purporting that they were not paid sufficient wages and other compensation or given required paid breaks when working for the company. They alleged that these violations breached the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (AWPA).
The defendant, Bee Sweet Citrus, produces lemons, grapefruit, oranges, and other citrus commodities which are shipped throughout the United States. The fruit is grown in multiple California counties. The plaintiffs explained that they worked for the defendant as seasonal workers, in some cases directly and in others through contractors.
