Farmworkers end 6-day strike against Larson Fruit

QUINCY, Wash. (AP) - A group of farmworkers are celebrating the end of a six-day strike in the apple orchards near the town of Quincy.

The 17 workers reached a settlement that obligates their employer - Larson Fruit - to address complaints ranging from a scarcity of toilet paper to verbal abuse from a supervisor.

The Seattle Times says the strike involved foreign guest workers who come to the U.S. under temporary H-2A visas.

The agreement was reached with the assistance of a Northwest farmworker union, Familias Unidas por la Justicia. The strike was resolved through face-to-face meetings between the workers and Keith Larson, owner of Larson Fruit. The resolution includes the reassignment a supervisor accused of harassment and the reinstatement of three fired workers.
