| [Just The News] The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in cases on pregnancy discrimination, universal preschool and immigrant labor regulations in November. The high court announced it will consider arguments in seven cases during the month of November as justices prepare to begin the upcoming judicial term. IMMIGRANT LABOR On Nov. 10, justices on the high court will hear arguments in Department of Labor v. Sun Valley Orchards, a case that will determine whether federal agencies are able to oversee disputes over migrant farmworkers in the United States. The case focuses on a New Jersey farm that was accused of violating an employment agreement under the H-2A visa program, a federally administered system that allows immigrant agricultural workers to serve in temporary or seasonal jobs. The U.S. Department of Labor accused Sun Valley Orchards of failing to provide adequate housing, meal plans, transportation and work hours for employees on H-2A visas. The Labor Department charged the farm hundreds of thousands of dollars in liabilities for the alleged violations. "Administrative adjudications provide an efficient mechanism for ensuring that employers who participate in that vast program comply with those terms and conditions," the lawyers for the government wrote in a brief to the court. |
