Reply to comment by Lapamato in Abusive working conditions endemic in Spain’s strawberry farms, report claims | Global development by Brian_Doctor
Post-Brexit there was a big push to get Brits working on the farms again. If the pay wasn't abysmal there'd be a requirement to live on-site and off-site applicants wouldn't be considered...like, what? If I like 30 minutes down the road with my family I'm not going to move out for the damn season just so I can pay the farmer extra rent.
And then it's 'Brits just don't want these jobs!'

The cherry on top of this strawberry muffin is the recurring question about better wages, the answer is the same "Better wages aren't the solution for people not wanting to do a low paying job!"
The same argument is used when nurses try to negotiate better wages to get enough nurses to keep the Finnish healthcare system running.
