“Kangaroo court” with the DOL. There really needs to be some hard penalties against agencies that do this. “In a nutshell, DOL claimed Sun Valley fired its H-2A workers without compensation and stole food money from their pockets”. “Seizing on a paperwork violation and over $500,000 in fines, Department of Labor (DOL) agents hounded a fourth-generation farm into collapse, trapping brothers Joe and Russell Marino in nine years of bureaucratic hell.” With the help of The Institute of Justice and attorney Bob Belton, they won their case against the DOL with “a panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously ruled in favor of the Marinos, declaring DOL actions in violation of the Constitution.” “The truth is, in these cases, DOL very often fails to return money to workers,” Belden says. “DOL keeps much of the money it collects or kicks it back to Congress. An independent judge or jury would not have money floating in the backs of their minds as potential influence.” 😳 Yeah. They won. Nine years later with the 125-year-old family farm already auctioned off. Court case: Sun Valley v.
