Bill to improve labor protections and rights for agricultural farm workers.
The problem
Farm workers often lack labor protections that other workers receive, including minimum wage guarantees, overtime pay, and safe working conditions.
The proposal
Extends federal labor law protections to farm workers, potentially including minimum wage, overtime, and workplace safety standards.
The impact
Farm workers would gain new legal protections. Farmers and agricultural businesses would face new compliance costs and regulations.
Strengthened safety rules could reduce injuries and illnesses. Workers would have legal recourse for unsafe conditions.
Legal protections make it harder for employers to abuse workers. Clear rules create fairer employment relationships.
Farm workers would have the same basic protections as other workers. This creates equality across industries.
Farm workers could earn minimum wage and overtime pay like other workers. This addresses wage gaps in agriculture.
Farmers would pay more in wages and benefits. Compliance with new rules costs money and time.
Small and family farms may struggle more with new costs than large operations. They have fewer resources to adapt.
Increased farming costs could lead to higher food prices for consumers. Some farm jobs might be eliminated.
Agricultural work is spread across many locations and seasons. Monitoring compliance could be difficult and expensive.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
