Bill to give farm workers new rights and protections in their workplace.
The problem
Farm workers in the U.S. often lack basic labor protections like minimum wage, overtime pay, and safe working conditions that other workers have.
The proposal
The bill would extend federal labor laws to farm workers, potentially including wage protections, overtime rights, and workplace safety standards.
The impact
Farm workers would gain legal protections. Farmers and agricultural businesses would face new regulations and potential costs.
Farm workers could receive minimum wage and overtime pay. This would increase their earnings and reduce poverty among agricultural workers.
Workers would have legal rights to safe equipment and working environments. This could reduce injuries and illnesses on farms.
Workers would gain legal protections against unfair practices. They could report problems without fear of losing their jobs.
All farms would follow the same rules. Businesses following labor laws wouldn't compete against those ignoring worker protections.
Farms would need new systems to track hours and comply with rules. This creates paperwork and training costs.
Farms would pay more for wages and overtime. Food prices at grocery stores could increase for consumers.
Some farmers might hire fewer workers or cut hours to manage higher costs. This could hurt the workers the bill aims to help.
Smaller family farms might struggle more with new regulations than large corporate farms. This could force some small farms to close.

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.
