Bill overview
This bill, the Fair Wages for Farmworkers Act, aims to increase wages for temporary agricultural workers (H-2A visa holders). It directs the Department of Labor to use state-level employment and wage data to calculate the ‘adverse effect wage rate,’ which determines how much these workers are paid. The bill also modifies the process for reviewing H-2A worker petitions, allowing the Department of Homeland Security to begin processing petitions concurrently with the Department of Labor’s certification process. This change is intended to speed up the process for farmworkers to obtain visas.
