Team, did you know that around 300,000 immigrants each year take seasonal farming jobs in the U.S.?
That’s why I applaud Biden for strengthening labor protections for temporary farmers! Under the new Labor Department rule, temporary farmworkers will be protected against labor law abuses, unsafe working conditions, and illegal recruitment practices.
I started out as a labor rights attorney, fighting for fair pay and safe working conditions for families like mine. My time in Congress has allowed me to further advocate for these essential workers and their treatment.
As Southern California is leading the nation’s agricultural industry, it is imperative that we protect and value our hardworking farmers, temporary or not, and their families. Will you help me continue supporting these valuable workers and ensuring they get the fair treatment they deserve?
