Informational meeting for farm labor contractors set for Friday

The California Labor Commissioner’s Office and the U.S. Department of Labor are co-hosting an informational meeting for farm labor contractors. State and federal experts will discuss the requirements for obtaining FLC licenses.

The information session will be held Friday from 9 to 11 a.m. at the California Labor Commissioner’s Office in Fresno, 770 E. Shaw Ave., Suite 222.

“Our goal with this and all of our workshops is to help contractors navigate the FLC licensing process so employers who play by the rules can do so as easily as possible,” said Labor Commissioner Julie A. Su. “Growers who contract with unregistered FLCs are automatically liable for any wage theft and related violations committed by the FLC.”
