The National
Council of Agricultural Employers has filed litigation against the U.S.
Department of Labor to stop up to 20 percent adverse effective wage rate
increases for 2019.
“These mandated costs are at levels farmers and ranchers simply can’t afford.”
President Michael Marsh tells Brownfield each year wage rates for H-2A workers are set following USDA’s farm wage survey to make sure domestic workers aren’t adversely affected by importing guest workers.
