Summary
This joint resolution disapproves a Department of Labor rule that establishes the methodology for setting adverse effect wage rates (AEWR) for H-2A temporary agricultural workers in non-range occupations. Under the Congressional Review Act, if passed, the rule would be invalidated and have no legal force. The adverse effect wage rate is the minimum wage that employers must pay H-2A visa holders to ensure they do not depress wages for U.S. workers in the same occupation.
