Bill overview
The Seasonal Worker Solidarity Act of 2020 aims to reform the H-2B temporary nonagricultural worker visa program. It requires employers to actively recruit U.S. workers nationwide through a new online platform, guarantee at least 40 hours of paid work per week, and provide housing and transportation to H-2B workers. The bill also prioritizes H-2B visas for employers paying higher wages and expands pathways to permanent residency for long-term H-2B workers, while strengthening protections against workplace violations and discrimination. It also addresses visa allocation and employer responsibilities.
