AmericanHort Encourages DOL To Rescind H-2A Rule Following Court Rulings

AmericanHort, along with 11 agriculture organizations, sent a letter encouraging the Department of Labor (DOL) to rescind the Final H-2A Rule on temporary agricultural worker protections after multiple federal court rulings have deemed it illegal. DOL’s inconsistent compliance systems for the Final Rule burden employers and threaten the H-2A program, which is critical to U.S. agriculture and the horticulture industry.
