The Agricultural Worker Protection Act & Florida's Migrant Worker: The Hands That Feed Florida, Fedline Ferjuste

Labor & Employment Law Forum

Since its enactment in 1982, courts have consistently misinterpreted the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (“AWPA”), and the Eleventh Circuit Courts are no exception to this misconstruction. Migrant workers are among the hardest-working and lowest-paid laborers in America, and they do not receive adequate legal protection. Congress, in enacting the AWPA, intended to make farmers and growers liable for abusing and breaching the AWPA. However, the judicial system has allowed them to create loopholes to escape liability. In order to break the cycle of abuse placed upon migrant workers, Florida must pass new legislation to reform and strengthen …

A Season Of Change: Reforming The H2b Guest Worker Program, Jayesh Rathod

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

INTRODUCTION: Each year, as spring and summer arrive, Americans partake in range of seasonal traditions: beautifying their lawns and gardens; enjoying harvests of fresh fruits, vegetables, and seafood; and attending local fairs and festivals. Although these rituals have become part of the American cultural fabric, few know that they are supported by thousands of temporary guest workers who enter the United States each year under the H-2 visa program.' The H-a program allows U.S employers to petition for seasonal agricultural workers (via the H-2A program) and seasonal nonagricultural workers (via the H-2B program) to work in this country on a …

Research Reports & White Papers

Domestic violence is a distinctive and complex type of violence. The intimate relationship between the victim and the perpetrator is historically construed as private and therefore beyond the reach of law. The often hidden site of the violence buttresses this conceptualization. The victim is often financially dependent on her abuser, and other economic and familial factors complicate the victim’s response to abuse. Moreover, women who complain of domestic violence frequently face intimidation, retaliation, and stigmatization, and thus incidents of domestic violence are notoriously under-reported and under-prosecuted throughout the world, including the United States.

Any meaningful analysis of the nature and …
