If a federal judge approves, more than 1,200 migrant berry pickers will be entitled to split $500,000 from a class action settlement between them and a Washington state fruit production and processing operation that allegedly paid them too little and made them work too long without a break.
In a proposed $850,000 settlement agreement filed on June 11 in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, Sakuma Brothers Farms, Inc., will provide back compensation for the workers, and $344,000 for attorneys’ fees and costs, and for administering the settlement.
