senate 07/31/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to establish safety standards that protect farmworkers from the health risks of wildfire smoke and extreme heat by requiring employers to provide proper protective equipment, training, and rest breaks when conditions become dangerous. Our goal is to ensure that those who grow our food can work safely in increasingly hazardous environmental conditions.

Farmworkers deserve fresh air and cool breaks, not just harder days. This bill says loud and clear: human lives trump corporate shortcuts.

This isn’t just about safety, it’s about dignity. Heatstroke and toxic smoke have no place in American agriculture — let’s breathe justice into these fields.

Finally, a bill that puts farmworkers’ health before profits — about time we protect those who feed us! No one should bake or choke on the job, especially our lowest-paid heroes.

Protecting farmworkers is sensible, but let’s balance safety with practicality — no point in mandates that leave fields deserted. Fair, effective safeguards can and should coexist with productivity.

Great, now Uncle Sam’s telling farmers how to run their fields — next stop, farmworker nanny state. Real safety comes from common sense, not endless bureaucratic hoops.

If farmworkers are really in danger, let’s educate, not overregulate. Mandating breaks and gear sounds sweet until the costs put small farms out of business.

More regulations hitting farm owners when they can least afford it — watch as job losses pile up under this ‘protection’ racket. Safety’s important, but not at the cost of killing livelihoods.

Good to see Congress tackling the heat and smoke hazards; no worker should have to guess if they’ll come home in one piece. Let’s just hope the rules don’t get lost in red tape.

Smoke masks and shaded breaks? Sounds like common sense if it’s enforced right. The real test: will this help workers or just fill another regulatory checklist?
