Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
TJOFLAT, Chief Judge:
In this case, we must decide whether a farm, which contracted with a farm labor contractor to provide laborers to harvest its crops, was the “joint employer” of those laborers for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. §§ 201-19 (1988), and the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act, 29 U.S.C. §§ 1801-72 (1988 & Supp.1993). On cross-motions for summary judgment, the district court held that the farm was not the laborers’ joint employer and entered judgment for the farm; the laborers appealed. We affirm.
