Conflicts in past summers have led to charges of assault and slavery, then to investiga tions by the Labor Department, the FBI and the U.S. Border Patrol. “The new law is aimed at pro tecting the migrant worker, and it states the people responsible are the farm labor contractors, not the growers or the unions,” said Bennett Wood, assistant area director for the Labor De partment. The contractors find farm workers and direct them to the farms where pickers are needed. Under the law, they must regis ter with the government and provide worker protections. The Migrant and Seasonal Workers Protection Act says the workers must be presented all relevant information concern ing working conditions, wages, benefits and housing, if it is pro vided, in a language they can understand — usually Spanish. The housing must pass in spection by a government agen cy. Farm labor contractors must also make sure their vehicles meet passenger safety standards and are covered by transporpn- surance. About 250 people in the tomato industry attended a meeting at Hermitage in March to learn about the new law. “We’ll spend considerable time educating all concerned,” Iri :or Wood said. “Education forcement will beourpn activities this year.” The new law will not some Arkansas farms, erupts family-owned fai personally solicit their and small farms. “Approximately 90;« of Arkansas farms are V ru7 i,ed /Tt: owned, so a lot of thenniBy . ify for exemptions," Wo,:l ds and 1 “We foresee possible nt j? in areas with farmers vB. 0 ' sas a 1 more than 500 man-dJI a 1° employ a labor contract I,,.! e ' The law also does not# 6 was a contractors who worbM e ^ a > 1 . sl miles of their homes, pB ,. ° U1 all their actions withintiB ldlvai sa and work less than 13*4 ai( ?
