DOL Launches H-2B Ombudsman Program

"The H-2B Ombudsman Program is here to facilitate the fair and equitable resolution of concerns that arise within the H-2B filing community, by conducting independent and impartial inquiries into issues related to the administration of the H-2B program. The H-2B Ombudsman Program also identifies areas in which employers and worker advocate organizations have concerns in dealing with the OFLC and proposes internal recommendations designed to continuously improve the quality of services provided by the OFLC. There is no fee for using the H-2B Ombudsman Program." - DOL, May 22, 2012.
