H-2B senate legislation introduced

Last week on the LAB, we shared information about SB 2225, the H-2B legislation that was introduced late last week in the US Senate. Please call both Senator Gardner (202-225-5941) and Senator Bennet (202-224-5852) and ask them to support/cosponsor this bill.

Additionally, there is support needed for HR 2758, a House bill that will make the returning worker exemption permanent. We need some serious grassroots pressure to try and get this bill passed, as it’s almost certain the cap will be hit sooner this year than it was last year. Please call/tweet/post/email the Colorado House delegation and ask them to sign on to this bill.
