Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker Protection Act

The Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker Protection Act (MSFWPA) is a law that sets standards to protect temporary farmworkers in the United States. It ensures fair treatment by requiring employers to provide safe working conditions, fair wages, truthful job information, and access to basic facilities like water, shade, and rest breaks. The act also helps prevent exploitation and abuse by establishing oversight and enforcement. Overall, it aims to improve the conditions and rights of migrant and seasonal farmworkers, who often work in agriculture for only part of the year.
