Overview
The Farm Labor Equality Act aims to improve working conditions for farmworkers in New Jersey. It proposes extending protections for minors employed in agriculture, increasing the minimum wage for farmworkers, and establishing a division to handle employment disputes. Specifically, it delays restrictions on minor employment in agriculture and adjusts minimum wage rates for various employee categories, including those in the trucking industry and direct care staff in long-term care facilities.
