Apple Growers Protest Wage Hour Ruling On Orchard Packing
Appalachian Apples Inc directs a protest to Wage and Hour Administrator Elmer F Andrews over a ruling narrowing area of production under the Fair Labor Standards Act. The Dec 6 1938 board action argues agriculture and horticulture are broadly exempt and rejects treating packing as wage hour activity unless done on the original orchard or with fewer than seven workers. The association seeks a hearing set for Jan 9 1939 in Washington DC.
