"Chicken **Catchers** suffer *terrible working conditions and are among the **most exploited workers in the industry**. Poultry companies subcontract crews of catchers to move thousands of birds from chicken houses to plants. **Catchers** breathe ammonia odors in dust filled chicken houses during long night shifts. By **shifting catcher positions** to subcontracting status**, poultry companies avoid paying catchers overtime pay, worker's compensation, health insurance, and other benefits."

position = categoría en puestos de trabajo.

Department of Labor targets agribusiness for compliance initiatives.-

"The DOL's arguments concerning the non-application of the "agricultural exemption" followed from the U. S. Supreme Court's decision in Holly Farms v. NLRB, which was decided in early 1996. In this decision, the court determined that employees of a vertically-integrated poultry processor who **worked in live hall crews as **chicken catchers**, truck drivers and laborers were not within the "agricultural" exemption of the National Labor Relations Act because live hall crews were not engaged in agriculture in either a primary or secondary sense. The Supreme Court basically decided that **the act of **catching** and **hauling the livestock** was not principally a poultry-raising activity, but rather a poultry processing activity.

Preventive steps to take before the DOL targets you for audit include review of contracts and **employment practices of non-employee service providers such as "catchers"**; evaluation of employee records such as I-9 forms; and evaluation of overtime payments for employees working in agricultural activities."

Estos trabajadores transportan las aves de corral a la planta del matadero.

\"The approved unit included workers described as **\"live haul\" crews--teams of chicken catchers**, forklift operators, and truckdrivers, who collect for slaughter chickens raised as broilers by **independent contract growers**, and transport the birds to the processing plant. On Holly Farms\' petition for review, the Fourth Circuit enforced the Board\'s order. The court held that the Board\'s classification of the live haul workers as \"employee[s]\" protected by the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA or Act), rather than \"agricultural laborer[s]\" excluded from the Act\'s coverage by §2(3) of the NLRA, rested on a reasonable interpretation of the Act and was consistent with the Board\'s prior decisions and with the Eighth Circuit\'s case law.\"
