NEW: Because all workers deserve a safe workplace, a variety of national and state-based organizations that provide education and legal services to workers - represented by FarmSTAND - have filed an amicus brief in defense of a critical Biden Administration rule related to worker safety protections.  OSHA's "walkaround" rule clarifies that the Occupational Safety & Health Act allows workers to designate a third-party employee representative to aid OSHA’s inspection of their physical worksite. But Big Business wants to use a meritless lawsuit to stop it from taking effect. We're taking this action alongside Sur Legal Collaborative, Worksafe, Justice at Work Pennsylviania, National Black Worker Center, National Employment Law Project, and MA Coalition for Safety & Health (MassCOSH). More on why this rule is necessary and lawful here: https://lnkd.in/e8_Ajg2H

NEW: FarmSTAND is representing farmworker advocates and workers acting to preserve really important federal protections for workers with H-2A visas. These organizations and workers have filed an amicus brief in a meritless legal challenge to the Biden Administration’s recently finalized rule protecting the rights of workers in temporary agricultural employment. They argue that the suit fundamentally misunderstands the purpose of the H-2A program, and that the relief sought by the plaintiff states and employers – the shredding of the full rule – would gravely harm the hundreds of thousands of agricultural workers who need its protection. Those protections include requiring seatbelts in vehicles transporting workers so as to prevent horrific traffic accidents, ensuring workers in employer-provided housing can receive guests and visits from service providers, and preventing employers from retaliating against workers who file a complaint or speak with an attorney. Groups on the brief include Comité de Apoyo a los Trabajadores Agrícolas, Community Legal Services, Farmworker Justice, Farmworker Legal Services, The Georgia Legal Services Program, Justice at Work, Legal Action of Wisconsin, Legal Aid Society of Mid-New York, Inc., The National Legal Aid and Defender Association, The Northwest Workers' Justice Project, Sur Legal Collaborative, United Farm Workers Of America, and The UFW Foundation. The individual amici Willie Shelly and Tyrone Cason work with H-2A workers at a farm in Mississippi and perform the same job duties. All amici are represented by FarmSTAND and Sur Legal. https://lnkd.in/ezpU_i3q
