Beekeeper refutes Labor Department claims while accepting stipulations.

A beekeeper from Washington is contesting allegations made by the U.S. Department of Labor while agreeing to an injunction regarding the treatment of foreign guest workers. Oleksandr Kulyukin, owner of New Generation Beekeeping in Eltopia, faces a federal lawsuit claiming violations of the H-2A guest worker program. A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order with specific conditions, which Kulyukin has now accepted in a stipulated injunction to ensure compliance with H-2A standards.
