(Wagner-Peyser Act) Services to Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers
| Florida's Toll Free Farmworker Helpline 1-800-633-3572. Report concerns about agricultural working conditions, safety, pay, living conditions and discriminatory employment practices. |
The United State Department of Labor, Employment Training Administration (USDOL, ETA), established equity and minimum services level standards for Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers (MSFWs), which must be met by states.
In the basic labor exchange system, AWI assists Workforce Boards in operating an outreach and employment program for migrant and seasonal farm workers (MSFWs) in accordance with 20 CFR 653. Full-time, year-round, outreach workers conduct outreach activities in order to accomplish the maximum penetration into the farm worker population. Additionally, One-Stop Centers utilize other agency staff and volunteer workers to inform farm workers of the services available. The outreach services network is further supported by the state monitor advocate, who conducts on-site Quality Assurance visits of Florida’s significant one-stop centers to ensure that an equitable level of services is provided to the farm worker community.
If you have questions regarding the Services to Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers program, please contact the Monitor Advocate Pedro.Narezo@awi.state.fl.us at
