A recent development is affecting local businesses. Some employees from Haiti are dealing with uncertainty about their work status. This is causing problems for their employers, who are worried about staffing.

In Key West, one restaurant owner had to suspend some of his workers. They had been working at the restaurant for a long time, but lost their authorization to work in the US. Further information about this situation is available from WSVN 7 News.

The issue is related to the status of work permits for people with a certain type of protected status.
