U.S. District Court Judge Louis H. Pollak largely granted a motion for summary judgment for seasonal landscaping workers in an early January order against the Brickman Group for transportation costs that took their wages below minimum wage.
The workers, represented by Friends of Farmworkers, a Pennsylvania legal services organization, are citizens of Mexico and Guatemala who were recruited to work for the Brickman Group between 2003 and 2005 using work visas under the H-2B program for temporary unskilled nonagricultural workers.
