(a) This Part is designed to effectuate the purposes of the Act, as amended and supplemented, and to prevent the circumvention and evasion thereof. In particular, it is designed to improve the conditions under which waterfront labor is employed, to eliminate irregularity of employment, fear and insecurity, and, in accordance with the public policies of the States of New York and New Jersey, to provide fair and equal employment opportunities, by establishing a systematic method of hiring and providing adequate information to waterfront workers as to the availability of employment opportunities and to waterfront employers as to the available labor supply within the port.
