Renteria-Marin v. Ag-Mart Produce, Inc., 07-14898
In a class action brought by plaintiff migrant farm workers under Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (AWPA), ruling in favor of plaintiffs is reversed in part and affirmed in part where: 1) the district court erred in its determination that defendant grape tomato producer "controlled" the housing within the meaning of the AWPA; and 2) defendant "provided" housing to plaintiffs such that it could be held liable for failing to post required housing information. Action is remanded for determination of proper damage award based on defendant's violation.
