Picking strawberries is very hard work.

Picking spuds is worse

@Corksfinedtboy

…Hundreds of non tested , checked Bulgarians brought to pick fruit,amid a total country lock down I fucking ask you?Only in this dopey country would this be allowed, Harris is an absolute moron,bad enough the horsey/ rugby set helping to decimate us and now fucking this

You stupid gullible cunt.

@Corksfinedtboy

Nothing wrong with the workers or the crappy jobs they have to do,it’s just not on unless they were checked/ tested,it’s a shite job,ASK KEELINGS WHY PAY SHITE WAGES thus putting jobs like these way out of reach of Irish ppl who have to live here

The State are paying €350 for people to sit at home, this is a consequence of that.

It’s all very good for you to scream and say “why don’t they pay loads more” so people will work there. Will you be happy paying the extra prices? Will that be the same across the board in supermarkets for you?

[carryharry]

Same gullible wankers don’t care who picks their banana or orange but whinge like fuck if they’re not on the Supermarket shelves.

@flattythehurdler

All agricultural produce should be subject to minimum unit pricing.
That is all.
It’s morally wrong that I can buy four litres of milk for two quid.

Correct,thanks to Lidl/ Tesco / Dunnes etc,one of my brothers manages a bakery in Cork,stories he’s told me ref Dunnes etc ref free bread (sold at below cost to Dunnes)every few months otherwise his brand will not be prominent

[carryharry]

Did he tell you about the Bonuses he was getting?

I pay extra for quality,when I have it

That’s not answering the question.

[Corksfinedtboy]

Honestly I would,also honestly I don’t always depends on good week,bad week

[carryharry]

Being two faced go from week to week? The issue with Keelings is not health or pay related, it is clearly a racism issue.

[flattythehurdler]

I’m more vexed that they are underpaying these poor people.

@flattythehurdler

My first ever job. 5p a punnet.

My first job was boxing tomatoes grown on the Island in Waterford. The tomato farm was where the holidays homes are now on Waterford castle beside the 11th tee. 30pence an hour paid in cash in a little brown envelope. I eventually saved enough to buy a Carlton Continental.

[Massey]

Must have been a strong envelope to hold all them coins

No I meant across the board. This would go across the board.

[PhattPike]

I loves a few berries on my porridge in the morning. God bless the Bulgarians.

[carryharry]

I’d hazard a guess they are getting a good wage compared to rates in their home countries.

The wage to the typical Paddy probably not appealing alright.

You hear the same shite here about Mexicans. As if your average cracker would leave down his game controller and go pick grapes for eight hours in 40C weather. I can safely say that 99% of manual labor work is done here by non crackers.

I devined grapes in Australia. Lasted two days.
There was Chinese lads doing it and I’d say they easily covered 2 to 3 times more ground than us a day.

I used to throw any bunches of grapes I accidentally knocked off into their rows.

Used be always funny to watch the townie cunts turn up to do a bit of stone/beet picking, or turf turning. Cunts would last a day or two and never be seen again.

I did a bit of floor sanding in New York with a hand sander. That was excruciating work.
