Abstract
The Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA) establishes federal standards specific to farmworkers. (No other U.S. industry has a labor standard that applies solely to its workforce.) The original intent behind MSPA was to ensure that migrant and seasonal workers received information and standards on pay rates and deductions, working conditions, insured transportation, and employment activities.
