ISSUE 1057 FLORIDA AGENCY FOR WORKFORCE INNOVATION
TO CONDUCT WAGE SURVEY The Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation,
Alien Labor Certification Section, recently announced that
they will be conducting a prevailing wage survey of Valencia
orange and grapefruit pickers in late April, 2005. The survey
will be conducted by mail and usually takes 15 minutes to
complete. Additionally, there will be some surveys conducted
by telephone. The general findings of the survey are published,
however, the individual survey forms along with the names
of the companies who participated are not released. The results of these surveys are used by the
U. S. Department of Labor for the purpose of approving or
denying the employment of H-2A foreign agricultural guest
workers. The results are also useful to the agricultural industry
for the purposes of determining whether or not a company is
paying the prevailing rate to its workers. Since the individual
information is kept confidential and because the results provide
useful information, your participation is encouraged.
