Text Box: On Feb. 13 the Department of Labor (DOL) issued a 47-page proposal to amend regulations regarding nonimmigrant workers employed in temporary or seasonal agricultural jobs. These proposed changes would supposedly “re-engineer” the process by which employers may obtain temporary labor certification in order to employ a nonimmigrant worker in H–2A (agricultural temporary worker) status. Based upon our analysis, the proposed regulations could have serious and negative implications and consequences to Wyoming’s ranching industry, particularly to the Wyoming sheep industry.
