White House Seeks To Lower Farmworker Pay To Help Agriculture Industry

[DrLove]

There really IS no bottom for this IDI-OTUS to disgrace front line brown people in the midst of a fucking pandemic ... IS there?

New White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows is working with Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue to see how to reduce wage rates for foreign guest workers on American farms, in order to help U.S. farmers struggling during the coronavirus, according to U.S. officials and sources familiar with the plans.​

​

Opponents of the plan argue it will hurt vulnerable workers and depress domestic wages.​

​

The measure is the latest effort being pushed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to help U.S farmers who say they are struggling amid disruptions in the agricultural supply chain compounded by the outbreak; the industry was already hurting because of President Trump's tariff war with China.​
