Is this the week #h2b visas will be released? Or is this yet another week where seasonal businesses will suffer, customers will go unserved, and domestic workers will pick up the load the best they can while sacrificing health, well being, and time with their families? #h2blawyer

[Seasonal Employment Alliance @SEA_labor]

Great work Brad Hartsoe on getting @wbaltv11 to do a story on the delay in the #H2B visa release. He emailed their tip line and then followed up with calls to two of their reporters. Everyone should do the same. The more press the better.

I would of tweeted earlier but since I still don't have #h2b help and I can't find Americans willing to work a seasonal job at $18-$23/Hr I'm out in the field doing the work and turning down new job offers @RepBeatty @SenSherrodBrown Have DHS and DOL #releasethevisas now!!!

[H2BLawyer @H2BLawyer]

2 weeks ago, it was "next week"; last week, it was "this week"; this week, it's "maybe end of this week or maybe next week"
When will #h2b visas be released? Or at least the temporary rule published? Employers need help now. Not the middle of summer...#h2blawyer #releasethevisas

[Andy Meyer @yardbarber1]

@SEA_labor @DHSgov Good thing I stopped taking on new clients If I get #h2b in June or July when work slows down what do I do Call those I told we can't do the job and try to get it back I wish those of you in congress had to deal with the lack of help so that you might understand @JoyceBeatty

Worker shortage leads to our landscape vehicles parked in the height of spring. The days that go by will crush seasonal small business in 2022 if visas are not released. #releasethevisas #h2b @SecMartyWalsh @SecMayorkas

[Andy Meyer @yardbarber1]

467,000 new jobs created last month. The country has over 10 MILLION jobs unfilled its time to #releasethevisas for #h2b. Please #saveh2b @RepBeatty cosign HR 3879 @SenSherrodBrown cosign S 2443, so that seasoal business can exist and even grow while expanding tax dollars

[Andy Meyer @yardbarber1]

Washington wants to send more covid relief money Don't
send us money send us #h2b #releasethevisas this way businesses and employees will send the government relief with more taxable income @RepBeatty cosign HR 3879 @SenSherrodBrown cosign S 2443 It fills jobs and creates income

[Andy Meyer @yardbarber1]

@SEA_labor View this report and maybe you will understand why #h2b is a necessity to seasonal businesses, American employees, and the economy. Please co-sign HR 3897 @RepBeatty and S 2443 @SenSherrodBrown if you want businesses to thrive employees to earn more and more money for the budget

[Andy Meyer @yardbarber1]

Raising prices and dropping clients In group F We will not be getting #H2b help or any help in 2022. Raising prices 50 to 100% who cares if I lose a client Don't need them if you can't do the work @senrobportman @SenSherrodBrown @RepBeatty @POTUS INFLATION AND BEYOND THANKS

[Andy Meyer @yardbarber1]

Does congress understand supply and demand? #saveh2b and #releasethevisas or the demand for services will be so much greater than the supply (labor) that inflation will increase even to a greater rate than currently @USCIS @senrobportman @SenSherrodBrown @RepBeatty

[Andy Meyer @yardbarber1]

370K increase in quits reported by Labor Department's monthly Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey. Just 1 more reason we need to #saveh2b First 2 days for #H2b apps over 131K Better #releasethevisas or shops will close or prices will rise @USCIS @RepBeatty @SenSherrodBrown

“At a time of record job growth, additional H-2B visas will help to fuel our nation’s historic economic recovery,” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said.

Very refreshing to hear our gov't acknowledge that #H2B workers create U.S. jobs and do not take U.S. jobs!

[Andy Meyer @yardbarber1]

Odds are I will not get #H2B help in 22 Therefore we are not taking any new clients or buying equipment for 2022. If I knew we had help coming we would expand the company and economy We pay 2x minimum wage and can't find help @DHSGov @AliMayorkas @USCIS @USDOL @USAID @SEA_Labor

Cuellar's Returning Worker Exception Act could result in as much as a $580mm positive net inflow into the Social Security and Medicare trust funds. How can one argue this bill does not a positive budgetary impact? @RepHoulahan @RepCuellar

[Brett Brownlee @archwaylawncare]

But all the unemployed ppl! Pay higher wages! Lol it’s not a wage issue. Americans don’t want to flip burgers, they def don’t want to mow grass. Why not allow temp seasonal visas to create tax paying positions? Far past time to fix #h2b #saveh2b
