@SEA_labor Using h2b our wages(set by DOL) have been over $15/hr for years. That’s not counting the $1,000s in fees per visa to use the cumbersome program. If we could find enough local help(which DOL certifies we can’t) we would not use the program. #saveh2b
While I appreciate the Secretary acting on my request and providing some relief, I am concerned that this number will be insufficient to meet the full demand of our seasonal employers as we come off the pandemic. (1/2) https://t.co/KHSesDlpIy
If I had one wish for the rest of my life to be granted, it would be to increase the #h2b cap to meet the need or permanently implement the returning worker exemption. We hope to be in business for the next 17 years until we retire. Release all the additional visas now. #saveh2b
New Administration - Same Problem. Nothing ever changes in DC, and if it does, its usually for the worse. Every Congress & Admin since Bush II have ignored seasonal businesses that rely upon #H2B. They only cater to the "Too Big To Fail" crowd and not small businesses. #SaveH2B
One thing @USDOL must understand is that more American worker applicants does not = more Am. workers. From our survey:
- 1,974 American worker applicants during the month of March
- 577 American workers interviewed
- 56 showed up on their first scheduled day
- 109 still working
Why don't you hear our need? Why is there such silence? Delay hurts us! Do what is necessary and save ourselves this suffering! Please and Thank you @DHSgov@USCIS#releasethevisas#H2B#saveH2B
If someone could give me the reason 33,000 visas per cycle (66,000 total) was the chosen number, that would be great. Also, please confirm that the factors that went into this decision are static/unchanging since this decision. #h2b#releasethevisas#saveh2b#h2bvisa
@SEA_labor@LIUNA@USDOL If I could just throw pixie dust out, and all of the sudden the young people would storm into our place of business and want to do seasonal landscaping work, just like past years. Wow would that be great.
They're Not Living in Reality.
Donald Trump became president not to make money, but to do his best to preserve the great things about this nation for future generations. He put America first. I’ve never seen anyone work harder. Thank you President Trump for your service to this nation.
@HawleyMO@RoyBlunt@USDOL it’s time the US take a long look at herself in the mirror. Our work ethic has changed. We need seasonal labor to timely complete the Seasonal jobs that US workers no longer want @SaveH_2B release the seasonal visas now!!
@HawleyMO@RoyBlunt I’m being penalized because of the lack of seasonal @saveH2B work visas due to actions taken by our Fed Gov... BIG GOV it’s wrong it’s in the way let FREE enterprise Ring release the additional visas!
