(20 ILCS 1015/8.1) (from Ch. 48, par. 184.1)
Sec. 8.1.
Farmworkers.
The Department of Employment Security shall
proscribe the
recruitment by Illinois employers of farmworkers
unless the employer files a statement with
the Job Service and the Department setting
forth the
terms and conditions, and the existence of any strike or other
concerted stoppage, slowdown, or interruption of operations by employees
of that 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 employer so recruiting.
The statement shall be made on a form provided to employers by the Job Service
on request. A copy of this statement, in both
English and the languages in which the farmworkers are fluent,
shall be posted by the employer in a conspicuous location at the place of
residence or employment of the recruited persons. As used in this Section
and Section 8.2, "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.
