“Agricultural Worker Health and Safety Rights” Campaign
Evergreen (no expiration date)
Program Description
Protecting the health and safety of agricultural workers and ensuring that employers pay them properly are more important than ever. This includes making sure workers receive required details about their job and pay, are paid at the proper rate and for every hour they work, and, if housing and transportation are provided, it is safe. Temporary agricultural workers (H-2A visa) must also receive reimbursement for visa-related expenses, and payment for transportation, food, and lodging.
