Does the Fair Labor Standards Act apply to non-U.S. citizens
working in the U.S. according to the Pablo-Calmo case?

The Fair Labor Standards Act is the foundation of human
resource policy in the U.S. Does it apply to non-U.S. citizens working in the
U.S.? A recent decision in the case of Pablo-Calmo versus Eller and Sons Trees
in North Carolina, reclassified the case as a class action suit. Why? The tree
planters, who are working under H2-B visas for Eller claimed to be paid less
than the minimum wage of $5.15 an hour. The Southern Poverty Law Center, who
brought this suit for back wages and out-of-pocket expenses, is calling it an
exploitation of guest workers.

There have been numerous articles reporting on this suit and
other similar suits addressing the rights of guest workers in the U.S. Conduct
a news search on this case and study the issues.

Compose your thoughts with the intent to engage in debate
about the extent to which you think our labor laws should protect guest
workers.
