S. Department of Labor is a rewrite of the National Labor Relations Act and that only Congress has the power to amend the NLRA. Kobach contends that the new rule will lead to a situation where some temporary, international migrant farmworkers will be able to unionize, in contrast to millions of American farmworkers, who treat foreign workers favorably than Americans. According to the lawsuit, the U.S. Department of Labor believes this new rule is permitted by the Immigration Reform and Control Act ( IRCA ). However, the state attorneys public think differently. They contend that it prevents the department from offering H- 2A visa workers better working conditions than their British counterparts. ” The ultimate rule goes above and beyond to provide… rights to H- 2A workers. According to the complaint, these are rights that American farmworkers expressly do certainly have under federal law. The agency can only get so far as to pass legislation that it ca n’t convince Congress to pass through the final rule. co/2i92LnD8f6
