Court Rules Against Grimmway Farms in Disability Discrimination Case
A federal court has ruled that Grimmway Farms, a large Valley carrot grower, discriminated against farmworkers with disabilities.
The ruling comes after a long-standing dispute between Grimmway Farms and the California Civil Rights Department, which filed a lawsuit against the farm in 2021.
- The farm allegedly forced farmworkers with work-related or other injuries or illnesses into taking unpaid leave.
- No accommodations, such as different job placements or aids, were provided to these workers.
- Some employees reported using workers’ compensation benefits, but once expired, they either took unpaid leave or went to work without accommodations.
- Some workers were ultimately terminated.
The California Civil Rights Department initially filed the complaint, leading to the federal court's ruling against Grimmway Farms.
No official statement from Grimmway Farms has been provided.
