A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Labor relating to the Adverse Effect Wage Rate Methodology.
This bill seeks to overturn a Department of Labor rule that changes how the Adverse Effect Wage Rate is calculated for H-2A temporary agricultural workers. If passed, it would cancel the new methodology, restoring the previous approach used to determine minimum wage requirements for these temporary workers. The measure directly affects the Employment and Training Administration, which administers the H-2A visa program, and employers who hire foreign agricultural labor. It is a procedural action that requires approval from both the House and Senate to take effect.
