CALIFORNIA IMMIGRANT FARM WORKERS RECEIVE GREATER BENEFITS
California farmers and others employed in the agriculture industry should be very pleased: recent changes by the US Labor Secretary will help their earning potential. In an attempt to protect the American worker, the Labor Secretary suspended regulations adopted by the Bush administration that governed wages and recruitment of immigrant guest workers for agriculture. The regulations will be suspended for nine months while the Labor Department figures out new regulations for the guest worker program.
Supposedly the old regulations lowered wages for immigrant guest workers and the changes are seen as a move to improve conditions for workers. If you are a farm hand, legally in the US or not, you have rights as an employee that need to be protected. Make sure you are receiving proper pay, such as overtime and benefits.
