Freeze H-2A Agricultural Worker Wages for Two Years
This act authorizes the Secretary of Labor to maintain the current wage rate for foreign agricultural workers (H-2A) for two years if a valid calculation method is unavailable. This means these workers' wages will not increase during this period, potentially impacting agricultural production costs and food prices.
Key points
Wages for H-2A agricultural workers may be frozen for two years if the current calculation method is deemed invalid.
This change could affect cost stability for agricultural employers and the purchasing power of H-2A workers.
