Senator DtiRBINS language ensures this principle is implemented fairly and effectively with respect to all employers who are looking for more workers. Specifically. it eliminates an exception in those areas where the Department of Labor has determined there is a shortage of U.S. workers in the occupation and area of intended employment. The shortage occupation idea relies on an exception in existing law which applies to green cards but not in the temporary worker context. So 1 agree with Senator DuRBIN that in the context of ensuring that temporary workers do not unfairly compete with Americans. we do need an exception to this rule. This legislation is based upon the principle that guest workers should only be brought in if Americans cannot be found to fill these jobs. and what better way to ensure this is the ease than to require all employers advertise these positions broadly.
