1Opinion of the Court
Opinion by Judge D.W. NELSON; Dissent by Judge BEEZER.
D.W. NELSON, Circuit Judge:
Plaintiffs, seasonal agricultural workers, appeal the district court’s dismissal of their complaint, which alleges violations of the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act, 29 U.S.C. § 1801 et seq. (“AWPA” or “the Act”). The district court borrowed Arizona’s one-year statute of limitations for liabilities created by statute and held that plaintiffs’ action was untimely. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we reverse.
