U.S. Labor Rule Enhances Protections for Hundreds of Thousands of H-2A Farmworkers Against Retaliation, Unsafe Conditions
Apr 27, 2024, 05:48 AM
The U.S. Department of Labor has introduced a new rule aimed at strengthening protections for hundreds of thousands of farmworkers, particularly those on H-2A visas. This rule is designed to safeguard these workers from employer retaliation, unsafe working conditions, and illegal recruitment practices, while also increasing flexibility, transparency, and recruiter accountability. Key supporters of this regulation include various lawmakers and labor organizations who emphasize its role in modernizing the visa system and enhancing worker rights. The rule, which substantially strengthens farmworker protections, is part of broader efforts by the Biden administration to improve labor conditions for all workers, regardless of their immigration status.
