PLANET Board Votes to Create PAC

The Professional Landcare Network (PLANET) has taken steps to develop a political action committee (PAC) that will help bolster the industry’s presence in the nation’s capitol. Among Members of Congress, the PAC will put more weight behind the PLANET name and the issues it supports, particularly when it comes time for those members to be re-elected.

Hiring legal, documented workers is a priority for everyone, but often difficult because there is a fine line between authenticating the paperwork for identification and being too aggressive in the procedure, which can lead to discrimination charges.

Another excuse to do nothing. There is a federal website, where they can check the documents authenticity, that is fast and easy. If you check all potential employees documents via the online system, there's no way an employer can be charged with discrimination. You'll also notice, that once again Farm Bureau is one of the main supporters of an amnesty/guest worker program.

REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!
