Immigration and Labor Law

This conference examines California agricultural employment, farm workers, and farm labor markets at a time of stepped-up immigration enforcement, new state laws aimed at protecting farm workers, and economic stress for producers of many commodities.

Major issues discussed include:

• the effects of DOL changes to the AEWR methodology and of California’s 8/40 overtime law on wages, labor costs, and hours worked,
• the status of farm worker housing and health and safety
• federal and state efforts to ensure labor law compliance
• the priorities of federal and state agencies
• how employers and worker advocates perceive farm labor issues.

There is no charge to participate, but you must register before March 10, 2027.

We are grateful for the support of the ALRB, USDA’s ERS and OCE, the Giannini and Walmart Foundations, and the UCD Gifford Center and WACHS.
