Workforce Compliance Starts with Being Prepared

Agricultural employers face an increasingly complex mix of workforce regulations, legal developments, enforcement concerns, and operational challenges. WAFLACON Wenatchee gives employers the information and tools needed to respond with greater confidence.

Join the Worker and Farmer Labor Association for a focused day of education, practical guidance, and industry connection created specifically for agricultural employers.

What You’ll Gain
