DETROIT (AP) — A jury has awarded more than $500,000 to five men from Guatemala who said they were exploited and underpaid by a downstate labor contractor that brought them to Michigan to plant and harvest fruit and vegetables. The men entered the U.S. under a federal program, known as H-2A, that allows farms to use foreign labor if they can't find domestic workers. Purpose Point serves as a middleman, recruiting people to fill jobs at Michigan farms and handling payroll. The company says they plan to appeal.
