ALCC signed onto a letter sent to President Trump today by the H-2B Workforce Coalition. The letter stresses the need for seasonal workers in order to sustain America's seasonal businesses and the American workers who rely on those businesses. It also presents data that supports the need for H-2B temporary workers and demonstrates that unemployed Americans are not pursuing those seasonal jobs; rather, they expect to return to their positions when restrictions are lifted and the economy reopens.
See a copy of the final letter that was sent today.
I will continue to share information on this situation as it becomes available. Please reach out if you have questions or have H-2B information to share.

 Unprecedented. That word has been used more times than anyone can count as a way to explain what we are going through.
Unprecedented. Unparalleled. Unmatched. Whichever word you use, we have never experienced such challenges to our health, our society, and our businesses in my lifetime. The world is on lockdown. People are scared. Business owners are concerned. We know we will get through this; history tells us that. It’s the question of “When will this be over?” or “What will it look like on the other side?” that’s impacting many businesses today.

 In this age of special interest politics, trade associations, industry groups and business concerns face a difficult, but not impossible, task of impacting the public policy/political process to protect and enhance their business goals. What is often missed by groups and trade associations is the power and influence they already possess but do not take advantage of. Local contacts have great influence! Members in trade associations and industry groups can have a significant influence on the legislative process and legislators by creating relationships with local representatives and engaging in the political process.
