Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSAWPA)

The Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSAWPA) is a U.S. law designed to safeguard the rights of migrant and seasonal agricultural workers. It ensures these workers receive fair wages, safe working conditions, and legal protections. The law requires employers to provide written statements about the terms of employment and adhere to standards for housing and transportation. Essentially, MSAWPA aims to promote fair treatment and enhance the quality of life for farmworkers who often face challenging working conditions while contributing significantly to the agricultural industry.
