An Alabama-based company with more than 70 greenhouse growing facilities across the U.S. has agreed to pay back lost wages and other payments to eight farmworkers to resolve six unfair labor practice charges filed with the California Agricultural Labor Relations Board.
According to the California Labor Relations Board (ALRB), the charges allege that Bonnie Plants, LLC laid off workers in retaliation for reporting concerns about alcohol consumption on the job, mistreatment by forepersons, and a company policy regarding clocking in for work hours.
The company’s Watsonville location is 729 Green Valley Road.
Bonnie Plants entered a settlement agreement with the ALRB in late December in which it agreed to pay eight workers $114,834 in lost wages and payments in lieu of offering them their jobs back. The company also agreed to respect the rights of farmworkers to join together and speak up to seek improvements to working conditions without retaliation.
As agreed, ALRB agents will go to Bonnie Plants, LLC’s worksite to read a notice to agricultural workers about their rights under the Agricultural Labor Relations Act.
The notice will be posted there for ninety days and mailed to current and former employees.
The ALRB enforces the act, which protects workers’ freedom of association, self-organization, and designation of representatives of their own choosing. They can also negotiate the terms and conditions of their employment, and to be free from the interference, restraint, or coercion of employers. To access ALRB services call 831. 769.8031, or 800.4493699. For information, visit alrb.ca.gov.
