Sought congressional resolution/intervention to west coast port issue resulting in delay of ag products leaving the Port of Portland. Labor issue is between the port and union workers, but the dispute has a direct affect on Oregon's agriculture industry. Continued to work a legislative path to fix USDOL abuses against growers, dating back to July 2012. Congressman Schrader questions DOL officials in a July hearing on the use of hot goods orders on perishable crops. Schrader and subcommittee Chair Austin Scott introdcued HR 1387 in March 2013 to prevent USDOL from issuing such orders on perishable commodities in the future. The bill was introduced as a result of hot goods orders place on Oreogn blueberry farmers in 2012. It became clear from teh testimony that the Dept. of Labor doesn't even know or follow the regulations it purports to have on these issues. A federal judge vindicated the farmers earlier this year ruling that the Dept. of Labor made the farmers sign admissions of guilt under economic duress. The farmers were prohibited from shipping their blueberries until the signed papers saying they violated minimum wage and record keeping laws and waived their right to appeal. Schrader pointed out in the hearing that the hot goods orders had never been used on perishable products in more than seventy years under the Fair Labor Standars Act of 1938 until USDOL began issuing them in 2008.
