I introduced S. 1778. a bill to provide for registration of crewleaders. This bill was introduced at the request of Secretary of Labor Mitchell. The measure would require that the approximately 10.000 crewleaders involved in migratory agricultural employment file information regarding conduct and methods of operation on the job. their financial responsibility. transportation. wage arrangements. housing. and other working conditions concerning migrant workers in each crew. This and other similar measures are under consideration by a Senate Subcommittee on Migratory Labor under the chairmanship of the distinguished Senator from New Jersey . The Department of Labor feels S. 1778 would be extremely helpful in checking the exploitation and abuse of our migratory agricultural workers.
