This is not about race, it is about who can or cannot live on the wages, being paid by these farmers.
Someone with responsibilities for rent, utility bills food bills etc. for themselves and their families, cannot survive on these lower wages.
Those with less responsibilities are able to survive and to take up this work.
Over many years our home grown farm workers have earned themselves a decent living wage by working long very unsociable hours, through years of dedication and loyalty and how is that loyalty being repaid?
By stripping them of their rights, reduction of their wages and by sacking them, putting them on the scrap heap.
False economy.
Has anyone seen any reduction in the price of fruit, due to farmers paying less in wages or due to anything come to that?
