By Clark KauffmanSeven migrant farmworkers from Texas claim they were recruited to work in Iowa, where they were paid illegally low wages and forced to live in substandard housing. The workers are suing Remington Seeds, which operates a seed corn processing facility in DeWitt, in southeast Iowa; and Javier Chapa, a Texas labor broker who runs Chapa Global Contracting. Chapa was allegedly hired by Remington to recruit, house, and supervise migrant farmworkers in Iowa, Nebraska, and Texas. The lawsuit claims that for five years, Chapa recruited the plaintiffs to travel from Texas to Iowa, where they worked in Remington’s seed corn processing facility in DeWitt. In October, at the end of each season, the workers returned to Texas on another bus chartered by Chapa.
