Ag groups share concern over vax mandate’s impact on H-2A workers

More ag groups are coming forward, expressing concern about the impact of mandatory COVID vaccines.

An ag labor service group in Michigan says that it will likely have a huge impact on the H-2A program. This is the time of year when workers come to the U.S.

Industry leaders say that many of these workers are vaccinated but not with a brand that is FDA-approved.

In many cases, they do not have access to the required vaccines in their home countries. The labor agency is calling on Homeland Security to work on a practical solution before the problem is widespread.
