The Fairness for Farm Workers Act aims to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to extend overtime protections to agricultural workers. It gradually reduces the maximum workweek hours for agricultural workers and removes certain exemptions, with staggered implementation dates based on employer size. The bill focuses on labor rights without direct fiscal implications.
