Apple Pickers Lament Part II Deductions Cut Earns at Southern Orchards
A contract laborer crew at Southern Vermont Orchards complains of high meal and dorm charges, $2 weekly rent, and social security deductions that leave workers with about $35 weekly. The Sharpes' crew, 39 workers, face meals at 80 cents to $1 and $1 for Sundays, plus charges for meals, rent, and utilities. While some workers buy own food, others rely on meals from the Sharpes. Social security deductions and registration are disputed, with the Sharpes claiming responsibility for SS while many workers lack numbers.
