Congresswoman Grijalva Introduces 'Fairness for Farm Workers Act' to Expand Overtime Protections

Congresswoman Adelita S. Grijalva introduced legislation to strengthen federal labor protections for agricultural workers by expanding overtime protections and narrowing exemptions under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The bill aims to phase in a 40-hour work week overtime threshold for agricultural workers by 2030, addressing a historical exclusion of farm workers from full overtime protections.
