California to pay back wages to thousands of farm workers
The California Industrial Welfare Division ordered retroactive minimum wages of 1.65 dollars per hour for women and 1.35 for children, affecting thousands of workers. The District Court of Appeal upheld the order, while grower groups seek to block payment. Officials estimate the cost and scope are difficult to determine due to migrant workers and unclear records. A two year statute of limitations applies for filing claims.
