Latest action on S.J.Res. 152: Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
Who this affects: This resolution mainly affects H-2A workers in non-range farm jobs and the agricultural employers that hire them. It could change required pay levels and farm labor costs. U.S. farmworkers in similar jobs could also feel the effects because the wage rate is meant to prevent the H-2A program from pushing down their pay.
Why this matters: The resolution could change both farm labor costs and worker pay by removing the current method for setting a key H-2A wage rate. That rate helps keep the hiring of temporary foreign farmworkers from lowering pay for U.S. workers. Canceling the method may reduce costs or red tape for farms, but it could also weaken wage protections. The resolution does not settle which pay method would come next.
