<P> The Farmworkers Movement has continued into the 21st century, and has included an emphasis on environmental issues . While there is intersection between both the labor rights and environmental justice efforts within the larger farmworker movement, there have been splits and differences between the two areas . Some critics of the environmental groups which work on similar issues to farmworkers organizations have claimed that they focus on "natural wildlife" rather than on the farmworkers themselves who are exposed the chemicals which are harming the environment . </P> <P> Organizing efforts within the farmworker community have continued to focus on labor rights and other labor related issues . Organizations such as the United Farm Workers have a history of working to protect the rights of farmworkers; some of the campaigns and causes these organizations work on include heat exposure, wage rights, and overtime inclusion . </P> <P> Farmworker organizations have been able to achieve legislative success in reaching their goals for greater rights for farmworkers . In 2005, following the deaths of four California farm workers due to extreme summer heat, the United Farm Workers was instrumental in getting former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to propose emergency heat stress regulations to prevent possible additional heat - related deaths of outdoor employees and agricultural workers . The proposed regulations required water and shade to be present and available for laborers working outside who felt negatively affected by the heat . </P> <P> Other legislative impacts and victories for farmworkers include the signing of an overtime law by California governor Jerry Brown in 2016 which extended overtime pay to farm workers who worked past 8 hours in a day or 40 hours in a week . The new rules will be phased - in over the course of four years, beginning in 2019 . There has long been a precedent for the exclusion of agricultural workers from other labor right provisions, including the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, which had previously created minimum wage and overtime standards for American workers but had excluded all agricultural workers . In California in 1976, the state Industrial Welfare Commission had extended overtime pay to farmworkers but only after 10 hours on a job in a single day or past 60 hours in a week . </P>
