[QUOTE="stewart, post: 7804347, member: 42710"] We have work all year round, picking, pruning, thinning etc etc, the majority of this is carried out by migrant workers, their work ethic is quite different. We generally work an 8 hour day where possible, I once had a Thia gang ask if they could work longer hours, at the end of the week they brought me a plate of home made spring rolls as a thank you gesture for allowing them to work a 60 hour week, I could not see a European team doing the same thing. This is of course a generalisation and there are some very good local workers, we employ a few of them, we do look after them and pay them well. The old adage of pay peanuts get moneys still holds true. [/QUOTE]
