CLASP recently submitted comments in opposition to the Department of Labor’s proposed rule rescinding worker protections in the H-2A program. Created through the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, the H2-A visa program was intended to help labor shortages as an alternate source of labor in the agriculture and farm industries, and included labor protections to prevent discrimination, low wages, and displacement of U.S. workers and improve the labor certification process. Rescinding this rule will affect the labor protections of all U.S. workers, including the right to organize, the right to just cause termination, and the disclosure of applicable wage rates and overtime opportunities. CLASP urges the Department of Labor to preserve the worker protections in the H-2A program, not just to ensure a thriving workforce in the agricultural and farm sectors but to protect all workers.
