Marianas Variety reports it may be just two more months before Guam reaches “critical mass” between projects that need to be completed and the number of H-2B visa workers still on the sland to help complete them, according to attorney Jeff Joseph, who represents various local companies and the Guam Contractors Association in a lawsuit against federal labor authorities. Counsels for both parties met Tuesday in the District Court of Guam to argue their cases regarding a preliminary injunction motion filed on behalf of local companies, which could force federal officials to provide some initial relief on the H-2B issue in Guam. Since December 2015, there have been few to no federal approvals of temporary worker petitions. Approval rates have declined from nearly 100% in years past to just about 4% in 2016, according to Joseph.
