Bill overview
This bill, the U.S. Farmworker Protection Act, aims to limit the growth of the H-2A temporary agricultural worker program. It seeks to address concerns that the program’s rapid expansion is negatively impacting wages and working conditions for American farmworkers. The bill proposes annual restrictions on the number of H-2A positions certified each year, and it clarifies the definition of a ‘bargaining representative’ to encourage unionization among farmworkers. Ultimately, the goal is to protect domestic farmworkers from potential displacement and wage depression.
