The amendment does not transfer as obligations for the protection of agricu tural workers to the user from the trad: tional farm labor contractor. Since tih anendment virtually eliminates the pric obligations of the farm labor contractor. th amendment results in the agriculture workers being left with no protections unde the law. The amendment would further exclud from coverage agricultural cooperatives an associations and their employees. even whei performing traditional farm labor contracto activities. such as supplying migrant work ers not only for their member growers bu also for other growers as well. The Act presently exempts any proces sor. ginner. canner. packing shed operator or nurseryman who supplies migrant work. ers solely for his own operation. The amend. ments would define the term for his owr operation so broadly. however. that it if strongly arguable that virtually every en. tity. regardless of whether it acts as a traditional farm labor contractor or not. would qualify for the exemption. Although the amendment would relieve fixed situs operations from the burden of registrationan aim which this department supportsit does so by unnecessarily eliminating essential protections for their farmworkers.
