Farmworkers would get higher wages and a new way to switch jobs under proposed H-2A program changes.
This bill would change the H-2A farmworker program, giving workers a higher minimum wage and allowing some to switch employers more easily within a state. It would also create an online system for employers to hire workers and make greenhouse and indoor farm workers eligible for the program.
Today, employers must navigate separate processes for H-2A petitions and job advertisements, and H-2A workers are generally tied to a single employer. After this bill, employers would use a new online portal for these tasks, and H-2A workers would receive a wage of state minimum wage plus $2.00 per hour. Up to 10,000 H-2A workers could also move between registered agricultural employers within their initial state, and greenhouse and indoor farm workers would become eligible for the program.
