Sec.  500.72  Agreements with workers.



    (a) The Act prohibits farm labor contractors, agricultural employers 

and agricultural associations from violating, without justification, the 

terms of any working arrangements they have made with migrant or 

seasonal agricultural workers. Normally, ``without justification'' would 

not include situations in which failure to comply with the terms of any 

working arrangements was directly attributable to acts of God, due to 

conditions beyond the control of the person or to conditions which he 

could not reasonably foresee.

    (b) Written agreements do not relieve any person of any 

responsibility that the person would otherwise have under the Act or 

these regulations.
