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.

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.
