grebb 50 Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 The season for farm work is coming up and I’ve heard they will be short staffed by 80-90 thousand and want government to fly people in to help - Why with 100s thousands of us sitting at home not getting a penny can’t they let us work Anything’s better than nothing .

Greyman 25,208 Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 If I can’t go back to work soon I’ll happily have some of that, keeps you fit and active, think if something don’t give soon I’ll go and get a few shifts on the bins with the agency for the same reason, no way am I going to last more than a few weeks like this been home for 10 days now and it’s the hardest work I’ve done in years 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
