More than one hundred thousand international students will spend this summer working and traveling in the United States. They are joining in the Summer Work Travel program through the State Department, a US government department that deals with anything connected with foreign countries. The idea is for students to work for up to three months and earn enough money to then spend a month traveling before they return home.

The Summer Work Travel program was started years ago. This year there are some changes. The State Department recently amended the employment rules. These changes follow a strike last summer by foreign students working for Hershey's chocolates in Palmyra, Pennsylvania.

The students said they were put to work for long hours in jobs that provided little or no contact with the outside world. The students complained about having to lift heavy boxes and to work overnight. They also complained about being paid so little money because part of the money they made had to go to the people who helped them to join in the Summer Work Travel program.

Now, the State Department doesn't allow the use of Summer Work Travel students in those workplaces where students have to carry heavy boxes, such as packaging plants. Also, most of their working hours cannot fall between ten at night and six in the morning. The students are also not allowed to work in workplaces that the government believes unsafe.

Daniel Costa at the Economic Policy Institute Washington welcomed the changes. He said, "That is good because it will protect the real foreign workers from getting hurt on the job. It' also protects US workers, many of whom don't have jobs."

Jacob Horwia is lead organizer for the National Guestworker Alliance, the group that organized the strike in Palmyra. "The changes to the employment rules really recognize the demands that the students asked for," he said, "and they can protect local workers who work in industries that use guest workers and also protect those foreign students." He also believed these changes will help return the program to its purpose as a cultural exchange program.
