I understand that section 203 of this bill would not authorize the Attorney General or the Secretary of State to take any action in the name of international reciprocity which would abrogate a U.S. collective bargaining agreement covering U.S. workers. That is. if. a U.S. union has a collective bargaining agreement with a stevedore employer. providing that specified longshore work will be done by the unions longshore workers. who will be American citizens. that collective bargaining agreement would continue to prevent alien crewmen from doing the work the contract protects for those U.S. longshoremen. This would be true even if under thi3 legislation the Secretary of State finds that another country allows U.S. crewmen to perform particular longshore work in its ports and is entitled to reciprocity here for the purposes of this immigration law. Is this the case?
