An investigation continues into a West Valley farm accused of abusing temporary workers, according to the U.S Department of Labor.

The announcement came the same day Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta promised to step up broader enforcement efforts.  

Federal authorities have accused G Farms of breaking safety, sanitation and fire codes by making temporary workers live in school buses, semitrailers and an open-air shed.

A federal judge has since ordered the workers moved to an apartment complex.

Amanda Caldwell, managing attorney for the Farmworker, Employment and Tax Unit at Community Legal Services, is not involved in the G Farms case. But she’s excited about government efforts to crack down on bad employers.

“When we bring these workers over from a foreign country to work here, even for a temporary period of time, we have an obligation to treat them well,” Caldwell said. “To give them the most basic protections of the law.”

G Farms received temporary workers through the H-2A visa program.

Ending visa fraud and abuse will help protect American workers, Acosta said in a press release.
