Let me emphasize that it was the interested parties that agreed to this bill. Each side achieved some longsought goal. For instance. the fixed situs agricultural employer groups objected to the burdens of registration as farm labor contractors and objected to the possibility of being selectively subject to the prohibitions on hiring illegal aliens. In exchange for lifting those burdens. the agricultural employer groups agreed to offer certain additional protections to migrant and seasonal farmworkers and assume the joint employer concept of the Fair Labor Standards Act. The unions. which under FILCRA could be interpreted to be crew leaders. are now exempt. but in exchange agreed to allow exemptions from the new bill for family businesses and small businesses. In agreeing to offer additional disclosure to workers. agricultural employers can now look to the Department of Labor to provide them with the proper forms.
