The Goodlatte amendment will prevent growers from having to pay guest workers for days that they do not work if the contract period is cut short. My amendment repeals the unfair 50percent rule. Fruit and vegetable growers have told me that the H2A programs 50percent rule is patently unfair. The rule requires a grower to hire any domestic farm workers who apply for work under the H2A guest worker program. as long as they have completed half their work contract period. even if the grower already has all the workers needed. My amendment repeals this rule. My amendment also allows growers to pay a housing allowance.
