Western Growers, along with our allied organizations, has worked closely with Congressman GT Thompson on this legislation and is one of over 35 organizations supporting the Securing Agriculture’s Workforce Act.
This legislation would create stability and predictability for employer costs, expand access to the H‑2A program for longer seasons and other sectors including dairy, and streamline program administration to ensure a more predictable and functional labor system for agricultural employers. The bill would also provide a mechanism to stabilize the existing workforce.
Here, you can find a letter from Congressman GT Thompson, who introduced the bill, explaining the importance of this legislation from the agriculture perspective.
Here is the text of the legislation.
