Farm labor and worker rights in the USA are governed by several federal laws, including the [Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)](https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/agriculture/agriculture), the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA), and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). The FLSA sets standards for minimum wage, overtime pay, and child labor in agriculture. The MSPA provides additional protections for migrant and seasonal farmworkers, such as housing and transportation requirements. OSHA establishes safety standards for agricultural operations, including regulations for handling pesticides, operating machinery, and preventing heat-related illnesses. Some states may have additional laws or more stringent requirements for farm labor and worker rights.
