What are the employers obligations with respect to contacting labor unions?
The H2B regulations at 20 CFR 655.15(g) require an employer that is a party to a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) covering the job classification that is the subject of the H2B labor certification application to formally contact the local union that is a party to the CBA. Such contact may be by U.S. mail or other effective means during the same period of time that the SWA is circulating a copy of the employer’s job offer within the state. After contact, the employer must maintain dated logs demonstrating: (1) that the union was contacted and notified timely of the position openings; (2) whether the union referred qualified U.S. worker(s); (3) the number of U.S.
