MISSION

The Farmworker and Landscaper Advocacy Project's (FLAP) mission is to
improve working conditions   for  migrant  and  seasonal  workers in  the  
agricultural and landscaping  industries in Illinois.  FLAP  carries out this
mission through:






Our clients are the thousands of individuals who travel to Illinois to harvest
the  different  crops  we  eat,  grow  the  plants  that  adorn  our urban and
suburban gardens, and maintain these landscapes. They are primarily men
and women who have immigrated to this country from Latin America. They
labor  10-12  hour  days  exposed  to heatstroke,  dehydration, pesticides,
injury and other hazardous working conditions.
OUTREACH
LITIGATION
COMMUNITY LEGAL EDUCATION
Migrant and seasonal  workers in Illinois' agricultural and landscaping
industries  are one of  the  most marginalized group of  workers in the
nation.  Despite  their many contributions  to our  society  these  men
and women are often victims of abuse. Employers, for example, refuse
to pay them overtime, or any wages at all, for their hard work. Many of
our  clients  also  suffer  injuries  without  receiving any compensation.    
Such abuses jeopardize the well-being of our clients, their families and  
their  communities.  FLAP  specializes  in  recovering  owed  wages for
these workers.
