Seasonal Employment Alliance Homeland Security Genevieve Douglas @acaldwellwsj Is anyone listening? Does anyone in Congress understand that they have the power to help these seasonal businesses? Don’t just sit there and do nothing. Please help them! Full-time American jobs are in jeopardy as a result! #saveH2B
Seasonal Employment Alliance Homeland Security Genevieve Douglas @acaldwellwsj When landscapers turn away contracts because they don’t have enough people, despite paying a top wage and great benefits, yes, that’s what you call a labor shortage. People want year-round employment, not seasonal. Can’t hire people who don’t apply!
One thing U.S. Department of Labor 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
apple.news/AIMM9qxYaQKu4j… This explains exactly what we’ve been saying for years. This is a must read for all Congress members. Don’t punish us for doing the right thing. Release all the additional #h2b visas. USCIS Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas Antony Blinken Secretary Marty Walsh Joe Biden #saveh2b
Anyone care to guess how many applicants Crabapple Landscape has received from its three billboards in the Atlanta metro area? Rep. Lucy McBath Jon Ossoff Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock
Seasonal Employment Alliance 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
Big thank you to Rep. Andy Harris, MD for attending and speaking at our Annual Meeting in Sarasota, FL. Next step, Returning Worker Exemption!
