Marcus a Bulgarian migrant farm worker, labourer & Daffodil picker, cutting & picking daffodils at Scottish Farm, Montrose Basin, Aberdeenshire.
Migrant workers and subcontracting workers and are used for daffodil picking throughout the UK, some from unlicensed Polish gangmasters and some workers stated that they received just £24 for a nine- hour day and 4p per bunch of flowers picked. In some instances no timesheets are used, so pay can not be accurately recorded, and the legally-binding Scottish agricultural minimum wage was not being paid. Some labour providers are doing a great job in a tough industry, but rogue gangmasters can make workers’ lives a misery. Recent investigations have focused on the transport, living conditions and forced labour issues. The Grampian Growers co-operative represents 18 bulb growers who produce five to seven million bunches of daffodils and 4000 to 5000 tonnes of daffodil bulbs annually. The flowers are centrally packed at Logie and transported in refrigerated trailers to supermarkets in the United Kingdom
