The U.S. Department of Labor issued a final rule on November 5 that changes how the minimum wage is calculated for farmworkers working in the U.S. under the H-2A seasonal agricultural worker program. This rule will freeze these farmworkers' pay at current levels for the next three years, then use a new method for calculating wage increases that will result in slower wage growth.   Farmworkers deserve a pay increase, not a pay cut. They already struggle to make ends meet and feed their own families, even though their labor feeds ours. Join us in calling on President-Elect Joe Biden to make reversal of this policy a top priority for the Labor Department on Day One of his administration.
