Congress sought to remedy some of these abuses by enacting the Farm Labor Contractor Registration Act. which I originally introduced. In essence. that act requires that all contractors or crew leaders be registered with the Secretary of Labor. upon a showing of moral and fiscal responsibility. Registration is subject to denial if an applicant has been convicted of certain crimes. fails to perform contracts with farm operators. or gives false or misleading information to migrant workers concerning the terms of farm employment. The act requires all crew leaders to inform each worker at the time of recruitment of: First. the expected area of employment. second. the crops and operations on* which he will be employed. third. the transportation facilities. fourth. the types and cost of housing upon arrival at each place of work. fifth. the wage rates to be paid. and sixth. any charges that the crew leader expects to make for his services. In addition. the crew leader is required at each place of employment to post the terms and conditions of employment at that particular place.
