Seasonal farm workers know what it’s like to work all day in the sun yet only have $150 in the bank at the end of the week to show for it. Paid piece rates, wages for seasonal farm workers fall well below the minimum wage. Then they face deductions that push their wages down to tiny levels. Other farm workers are paid cash by dodgy contractors and suffer wage theft. In Mildura, Victoria, more than 100 farm workers came together on Thursday for a mass meeting and declared enough was enough! They
