Around 13,000 Spanish seasonal workers will work in the French grape harvest for €2,156 gross per month
UGT estimates that 90% of these workers “repeat” in the neighbouring country's campaign for better salary conditions.
French wine entrepreneurs prefer Spanish harvesters over other temporary workers of other nationalities due to their high degree of professionalism. This was stated on Monday by the secretary of the Agro-food sector of UGT-FICA, Javier Velasco, during the presentation of the campaign that will take around 13,000 Spanish workers to harvest in France. These workers will have a minimum salary of €2,156 per month for 35-hour workweeks. From there, overtime will be paid more, the union representative added.
