The Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act

The Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA) is a U.S. law that safeguards farm workers who move temporarily for agricultural work. It sets standards for wages, working conditions, and housing, ensuring fair treatment. The Act also requires employers to provide clear information about job details and protects workers from exploitation, such as unfair wages or unsafe conditions. Additionally, it establishes oversight by the U.S. Department of Labor to enforce these protections, promoting fair and lawful practices for migrant and seasonal farm workers.
