President. I rise today to join my colleague from California. Senator FEINSTEIN. to introduce the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act amendment. This bill will protect Americas producers. Under the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act. employers are put at risk for being sued for injuries which occur on the job even when the employer provides workers compensation. A recent Supreme Court decision has increased the threat of seasonal workers ability to make unjust law suits against agriculture producers. The chief sponsor of this bill. Senator FEINSTEIN. can probably tell us many stories of how this hole in the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Workers Protection Act has affected agriculture communities in her home State of California. Well. in my home State of Montana. we have had problems of seasonal workers suing farmers. as well. One instance that comes to my mind is a case in eastern Montana.
