"According to Carol Brooke, a senior attorney with the North Carolina Justice Center’s Workers’ Rights Project, forced meal plans are common in North Carolina. In fact, the organization is currently handling a meal plan-related legal case. The pending lawsuit alleges that eastern North Carolina agricultural operations Boykin Farms, Rhodes Farming, and Lee and Sons Farms were contractually obligated to provide kitchen access to workers. However, over the course of four years beginning in 2019, employers allegedly blocked H-2A workers from accessing cooking spaces and instead charged them as much as $160 a week under a forced meal plan."
