The Department of Labor has announced that its Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training has officially confirmed and approved (or "ratified") a rule concerning temporary and seasonal work needs for herding and livestock production under the H-2A Program. This rule, originally published in December 2021, outlines the process for employers requesting such labor needs. Despite some legal questions, the rule has been confirmed valid after a review. The Assistant Secretary emphasized that this move is just a precaution and doesn’t imply any legal issues with the rule's initial approval or publication.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Labor has decided it's okay to continue with a rule about how farmers can ask for temporary workers to help with their animals. They checked it again just to make sure everything was done right the first time.
