Pickers’ pay
Sir,—This season I have been very fortunate to have the opportunity to pick strawberries. My friends and I make good pocket money,! eat plenty of strawberries and have lots of fun. The unions, however, wish to force growers into paying hourly rates of pay and everybody knows that to get kids to work properly for hour after hour would be an impossibility. This is why the growers pay on production. Kids know that if they do not work they do not get paid. What could be fairer than that? — Yours, etc., ERIC McAULEY. January 9, 1983.
