Texas Joins Lawsuit Against New Federal Rule Advantaging Foreigners in US Agriculture

If the rule goes into effect on June 28, temporary agricultural workers will be allowed to unionize while Americans can’t.

Texas is joining a multi-state lawsuit against the Biden administration over a recent regulatory change that helps foreigners and disadvantages American agricultural workers.

In question is a new United States Department of Labor rule that permits foreign nationals working in the agricultural industry under the H-2A guest worker visa program to unionize and engage in collective bargaining.

Meanwhile, U.S. nationals are still subject to the standards established in the National Labor Relations Act of 1935, which exempts the agricultural industry from dealing with trade unions and collective bargaining.

The Department of Labor approved the rule on April 29, pursuant to the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, for its Employment and Training Administration and Wage and Hour Division. It is set to take effect on June 28.

However, those plans could be temporarily paused. On Monday, a coalition of 17 state attorneys general, including Texas’ Ken Paxton, argued in a complaint that the rule directly violates the NLRA.

“Joe Biden is using his bureaucratic machinery to favor immigrants who are in the country on temporary visas by unilaterally granting them rights that are not enjoyed by American citizens working in the same industry,” stated Paxton in a Tuesday press release.

“By favoring foreign labor over American workers, Biden is not only breaking the law but turning his back on his own citizens,” he added.-- excerpt, rest at link above --
