More charges sought against Oregon blueberry farms

The U.S. Department of Labor wants to pursue additional charges against Oregon blueberry farmers that it accuses of 'hot goods' labor law violations. In 2012, the agency claimed that the two farms - Pan-American Berry Growers and B&G Ditchen - paid harvesters less than the minimum wage, which rendered their blueberries unlawfully produced 'hot goods' that couldn't be shipped in interstate commerce.
