Mr. President. it is with pleasure that I rise in support of H.R. 7102. the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act. This measure will replace the unwieldy Farm Labor Contractor Registration Act. known as FLCRA. Apple and peach orchardists in West Virginias eastern panhandle have been frustrated by FLCRA. It imposes unfair burdens on agricultural employers without providing effective safeguards for workers. H.R. 7102 will replace FLCRA with a more reasonable set of standards. including simpler reporting requirements and a clearer definition of the responsibilities of crew leaders. The current law causes employers confusion with its complicated and duplicative provisions.
