Fruit Growers Oppose Adverse Effect Wage Hearing
Joseph P. Dorsey of the Frederick County Fruit Growers Association testifies that about 150 growers with 8 to 10 million bushels of apples annually and 1200 pickers oppose the Department of Labor adverse effect wage rates. He argues the hearing should be delayed to read the agency's position and calculations, contending no adverse effect from foreign labor and that a minimum hourly wage would hurt local and migrant workers and the apple industry. He requests access to the Department's calculations and the opportunity for rebuttal testimony.
