Republicans warn Biden admin's foreign farm worker rule is 'giveaway to Big Labor'
Fox News
Republicans want the Biden administration to withdraw a rule that they say is a "giveaway" to Big Labor and would hurt the efficiency of U.S. farms.
The Department announced the rule in September, which builds on a rule published last year concerning the H-2A program -- which grants temporary or "nonimmigrant" visas to foreign farmworkers.

As a move designed to address concerns about abuse of workers in the program, the rule expands workers’ rights to invite guests -- including union officials -- to employer-provided housing and meetings with employers. It would also require employers to provide lists of workers to requesting labor organizations. The Biden administration says the move increases transparency.
