§ 10.1. Farmworkers. The Department of Labor shall proscribe the recruitment by private employment agencies of farmworkers unless the private employment agency files a statement with the Department of Labor setting forth the terms and conditions, and the existence of any strike or other concerted stoppage, slowdown, or interruption of operations by employees of the prospective employer at the site of the proposed employment, directly relating to the employment offered to the farmworkers so recruited. A copy of the statement in English and the language in which the farmworker is fluent shall be given to each farmworker prior to recruitment by the private employment agencies so recruiting. The statement shall be made on a form provided to private employment agencies by the Job Service on request. As used in this Section and Section 10.2, “farmworker” means any person who moves seasonally from one place to another, within or without the State, for the purpose of obtaining employment relating to the planting, raising, or harvesting of any agricultural or horticultural commodities, or the handling, packing, or processing of those commodities on the farm where produced or at the place of first processing after leaving that farm.
