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.
