Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act

The Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSAWPA) is a U.S. law designed to protect the rights of migrant and seasonal farm workers. It ensures that these workers receive fair wages, safe working conditions, and proper housing. The law requires employers to provide written contracts detailing the terms of employment and prohibits deceptive practices. It also mandates that employers inform workers about their rights. Overall, the MSAWPA aims to improve the quality of life and labor standards for those who play a crucial role in American agriculture, who often face unique challenges and vulnerabilities.
