More fruit growers ready to use guest-worker program – Washington
Tagged: WashingtonPosted on: February 26th, 2007“Anticipating another tight labor market and fearful of immigration enforcement that could lead to heavy fines, local growers are expected to expand their use of a federal guest-worker program in the upcoming season.
The program, known as H-2A for the type of visa issued by the State Department, allows growers to hire foreign workers for a certain contract period as long as they provide housing, transportation and other minimum requirements.”
