Government enforcing child labor and wage laws for farmworkers in North Carolina

The New York Times has this article about the Obama Administration’s effort to enforce the child labor and wage and hour laws on farms, and describes the effort in North Carolina in particular. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) contains several exceptions for farmworkers, but sometimes-ignored restrictions of child labor are apparently now being more vigorously enforced.

I highly recommend this group! Valerie and her staff care about you as a person and make sure all your needs are taken care of. You can count on your matters being a top priority…during my five years of being a client, I was always given an answer to any questions on the same day without delay. The entire staff goes above and beyond to take care of you!

I always recommend Johnson & Groninger to people with harassment, sex abuse, workers compensation, and bike law matters. They are excellent attorneys who care about their clients and justice. They exemplify how all lawyers should be!

John Taylor

Being a police officer, I have dealt with a lot of law firms, but as far as I’m concerned, I was completely happy with what Valerie did. She really did her homework. I have already recommended her to others who are looking for workers’ compensation representation.

Christopher Causebrook

Ethical, intelligent, effective and genuine coupled with being a skillful negotiator best describes my personal experience with Ms. Groninger. Her uncanny ability to work respectfully with all clients garners positive results. I highly recommend Ms. Groninger without reservation!

James Taperek

Valerie is professional and very knowledgeable in workers compensation law. The staff was excellent especially Elizabeth. All calls were returned promptly. All questions were answered with patience and understanding. I felt confident that this law firm would resolve all issues that we were confronted with. There was always someone there that we could talk to.
