The regulations prohibit the use of the public employment offices to recruit workers from one State for employment in another State under terms and conditions of employment which would undermine the prevailing working conditions in the area of employment. Regulations and policies substantially similar are applicable both to agriculture and to industrial employers. The most serious effect of this amendment would be upon our own migrant agricultural workers. Its apparent Intent is to impose a requirement upon the Secretary of Labor to use the farflung facilities of the nationwide system of public employment offices to recruit workers. when so requested. even if the terms offered would undermine the prevailing wages and conditions of employment in the area in which the worker will be used. The amendment is discriminatory against a segment of our labor force whose plight is causing this Government increasing concern. Our agricultural migrant workers are already at the bottom of the economic scale. The shameful conditions under which they work and live are a matter of extreme embarrassment to the United States. There has been increasing public clamor for governmental action to better their standard of living. Despite the need for affirmative help. it is important to note that the regulations which Senator HOLLANDS amendment would strike down are not designed to require improved employment conditions for our migrant workers. Their purpose is solely to assure that the U.S. Government does not provide the vehicle for further depressing their pitifully inadequate living and employment conditions.
