In another recent example. Griffin and Brand. Inc.. a large Texas agribusiness corporation. was found to have violated FLCRA and minimum wage law during 1975. 1976 and 1977 by hiring and then underpaying more than 200 undocumented alien farmworkers. The court awarded the workers more than $85.000 in unpaid wages. Given the plethora of abuses which occur in these farm industries. I think that to relieve them of registration is as far as they can reasonably expect. Finally. these amendments would also redefine the term "migrant worker." This is a subject that was raised during_ the course of the multiparty discussions undertaken by the committee ths spring. It was agreed by all the parties that. with respect to the hiring of local housewives and college students in canneries. gins. packing sheds and food processing plants. the current laws definition should exclude these workers. Employers had argued that they employed large numbers of such workers and all parties agreed to attempt to define them for purposes of this act.
