United Farm Workers, et al. v. U.S. Dep’t of Labor, et al.

U.S. Department of Labor
ETA/OFLC
Farmworker Justice Fund, Inc.

Court
Null
The litigation challenged the Department of Labor’s
final rule, Adverse Effect Wage Rate Methodology for
the Temporary Employment of H-2A Nonimmigrants
in Non-Range Occupations in the United States,
85 FR 70445 (Nov. 5, 2020), which amended the
methodology the Office of Foreign Labor Certification
uses to calculate the Adverse Effect Wage Rate for
non-range occupations in the H-2A program.
Note the amount paid was negotiated between the parties to settle plaintiffs’ fee claim, rather than as an express EAJA award issued by the Court.
