bimmerman Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 If anyone is struggling for income at this time of madness, most retail supermarkets are desperately crying out for relief workers to support Picking, stacking stock, clearing cardboard Lidl, aldi, tesco, sainsburys to name a few Just thought it's worth a look if you are struggling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Apparently a similar situation out in the fields. No fruit and veg on the shelves, as it's all rotting away in the ground, due to all the pickers going home before the international travel ban! OK, maybe a slight exaggeration by me, but Farmers are apparently crying out for pickers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked in farmers fields from 12 to 18yrs old never did me any harm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 What would be in the fields this time of year, I must admit, I’m no farmer or even got a veg patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remy the hare Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Like the old days get the teenagers in the fields bring in the harvest (at a safe distance a part, of course). They have quite a bit of time on there hands. They could even do some picking while on their phones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe. Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 We grow cauli, leeks and daffodils, caulis harvested all year round and leeks almost all, Daffs are just about finished for the year. haven't lost any staff they all stayed here though half of them are local anyway. Spud packing factory on the other hand has had to effectively double production so they've taken on a lot of cafe/pub workers/students for the short term or until people stop panic buying. Seasonal fruit and veg, strawberries, apples, broccoli, kale etc will be looking for staff if travel bans are in place still, veg planting season is coming up shortly too so there will likely be people looking for staff in the coming months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram1964 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I've been lucky,working as a decorator work has been quiet since xmas,but this month has been busy and I have a couple of weeks work booked in. Just hope people having had re assurances about wages will keep work flowing, as being self employed am unintitled to any benefits or council tax reductions.
