Alma Adams: “We must end the racist exclusion of farm workers from FLSA's overtime protection.”

It is abundantly clear that there are two agendas present today. The republican's agenda will weaken worker protections and let low road employers off the hook for breaking the law.

The Trump administration's attempt to gut protections for tipped workers have only worsened these issues by allowing employers to steal almost 6 billion dollars of worker's hard-earned tips for themselves each year.

Tipped workers are unfortunately paid less per hour than non-tipped workers, and they have less access to benefits.

The $30 billion SNAP cut alongside the provisions you highlight today does a disservice to families in farm country.
