Senators Scott, Budd, and Congressman Norman advocate for wage reform in the H-2A visa program to support U.S. farmers.
Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senator Tim Scott, along with Senator Ted Budd and Congressman Ralph Norman, is advocating for reforms to the Department of Labor’s (DOL) wage rate rule affecting H-2A visa workers. They argue that the current system imposes inflated wages disconnected from actual market conditions, burdening American farmers at a time of record expenses.
The bipartisan group has sent a letter to DOL Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, expressing concerns about increasing labor costs and urging a reform of the Adverse Effective Wage Rate (AEWR) methodology to better align with real agricultural labor demands. They emphasize the challenges faced by farmers, including high input costs and labor shortages.
They have also highlighted past legislative efforts to address these issues and are calling for cooperation to create a more sustainable agricultural labor framework that would alleviate financial pressure on U.S. farmers.
