Summary
The bill caps the number of temporary agricultural worker positions the Labor Secretary can certify each fiscal year at 400,000, but it does not count jobs that will be filled by workers represented by a certified bargaining representative. It is intended to protect U.S. farmworkers from losing jobs and from wage pressure as the H‑2A program expands. The measure also defines what qualifies as a bargaining representative.
