The foreign workers themselves would be protected from exploitation by the same adverse effect standard because it would guarantee them wages and working conditions equivalent to those offered their domestic counterparts. In addition. employers would be required to provide adequate housing or housing allowance and workers compensation. the same benefits guaranteed H2 workers under H.R. 1510. Foreign workers would be free to join labor unions and could claim and enforce all existing protective labor standards for agricultural workers. including the minimum wage law. occupational health and safety regulations. standards governing migrant and seasonal agricultural workers. and various State statutes. And because these workers would be free to change employers. they could reject any employer who offered abusive or substandard conditions.
