2007 California Food and Agricultural Code Article 3. Registered Unloaders

CA Codes (fac:57021-57024)

57021.  Every person who unloads any farm product in a market and
who is a registered unloader shall register his name, federal social
security number, and address and union affiliation, if any, with the
commissioner.  The commissioner shall supply each registered unloader
with a badge of registration.  Each registered unloader shall wear
such badge at all times while employed or seeking employment in
unloading any farm product in a market.  A person within the
definition of the term registered unloader shall not unload any farm
product in a market unless he is registered as provided in this
chapter.


57022.  Every producer who transports any farm product to a market
may register himself, his father or mother, and his sons or
daughters, and regular full-time employees, with the commissioner.
Such registration shall show the name of the producer and the
relationship of the registrant to the producer.  The commissioner
shall supply each such registrant with an appropriate badge, which
the registrant shall wear at all times while engaged in unloading any
farm product at a market.
   This chapter does not prohibit a person from unloading any farm
product, and no person is required to employ any other person to
unload or assist in unloading such farm product nor to pay for any
services which are not requested to be performed.



57023.  Every produce dealer that operates in a market is
responsible for having on hand at his place of business a responsible
person to receipt for any farm product which is unloaded at his
place of business during posted receiving hours.




57024.  All vehicles shall be unloaded in a timely manner and in the
order in which they arrive at the market, when the vehicles are
unloaded by registered unloaders.
