Lew Papenfuse, Executive Director, welcomes you to
www.FLSNY.org.
Farmworker Legal Services of New York, Inc. has been serving migrant and
seasonal farm workers for the past 30 years through direct
representation in civil matters regarding employment and wage issues.
FLSNY also serves the migrant community who may be victims of domestic
violence and human trafficking. Pesticide education to prevent exposure
and poisoning remains a significant part of FLSNY's services.
FLSNY is particularly proud of its reputation as the only program in
New York that conducts extensive outreach to the migrant community. As a
result of our close ties to this community, we have been the recipient
of grants to provide services to special populations within this group.
FLSNY now services victims of human trafficking, domestic violence and
those exposed to pesticides.
Farmworker Legal Services of New
York, Inc. (FLSNY) is a not-for-profit corporation providing free legal services
to New York's migrant and seasonal agricultural workers. FLSNY's lawyers and
paralegals provide a wide range of legal advocacy on behalf of farm workers.
FLSNY seeks to assure that agricultural employers and housing providers in New
York and nationwide comply with the law, that government entities respect farm
workers' civil rights, and that the public is educated about farm worker
exclusions from existing labor laws.
