Many of the growers in my State and I have a concern with a particular section of this bill. Under the provision for exemption of fulltime or regular employees of farmers. processors. canners. ginners. packing shed operators. or nurserymen who are exempt. the bill specifies that the exemption will apply if the recruitment activity is solely for his employer on no more than an incidental basis. I can understand that registration should be required of the individual whose sole job is to hire and recruit migrant labor. To do otherwise would allow for a circumvention of the purposes of the bill. However. my concern is with the term "incidental." I do not think the committee report adequately explains what is meant by incidental duty of employment. I do not feel that the committee intended that regular employees who may perform some duties for their employer relative to securing migrant labor are to be required to register. It is my understanding that the bill aims at those who on a fulltime basis hire or recruit migrant labor. I would appreciate if the distinguished Senator from Wisconsin would clarify this point for me.
