A Virginia winery owned by President Trumps son Eric has requested permission to bring in nearly two dozen foreign workers, according to a new report.
The Trump Winery in Virginia is seeking 23 workers from overseas to plant and harvest grapes there this spring, BuzzFeed reported Thursday.
The Department of Labor published a request from the winery, which is also known as Trump Vineyard Estates LLC, earlier that day.
Thursdays posting says potential workers will earn $11.27 hourly working at the 1,300-acre estate from April 3 to as late as Oct. 27.
The workers are being sought using the federal H-2A visa program, which permits U.S. employers to hire foreign agricultural laborers for temporary work as long as no qualified Americans want the jobs instead.
