- Offer description:
All applicants must be able, willing and qualified to perform the work described in the job order and must be available for the entire period of employment specified in Section A.3 & A.4. This work order is for qualified workers to perform a variety of tasks involved in the planting, cultivating, and harvesting of apples. Duties include clearing fields; removing stones and brush by hand; tilling soil and applying fertilizers; transplanting; weeding, thinning, and pruning apple trees; applying pesticides and herbicides; loading harvested products; constructing trellises; and repairing fences and farm buildings. Workers may use hand tools such as shovels, hoes, saws, pruning hooks, shears, and knives, and may assist in operating and maintaining tractors, tractor-drawn machinery, self-propelled equipment, and other farm vehicles used for planting, cultivating, spraying, mowing, and harvesting crops. Workers must be able to operate agricultural equipment safely and work in a variety of weather conditions, including damp, cold spring and fall days and hot, humid summer days. The assigned duties are physically demanding and require prolonged standing, walking, bending, kneeling, stooping, and climbing ladders. Workers must be able to lift and carry up to 75 pounds frequently and handle ladders up to 24 feet long weighing approximately two pounds per foot. Workers may be asked to operate trucks or other multi-purpose vehicles to transport workers from employer-provided housing to farm properties, whether on or off the farm; haul tools, supplies, or crops; transport workers between worksites during the workday, including on public roads to access fields; and transport workers to grocery stores, banks, or laundry facilities on an as-needed basis. Workers who are asked to drive must possess a valid driver’s license; however, no worker will be rejected for not having a driver’s license. Workers who perform driving duties will continue to perform the same field work and other duties as non-driving workers and driving is not a primary job duty. Workers will be compensated at the correct rate of pay for all hours worked, including when they are performing the employer’s obligation of driving. Apples injured by bruising during picking must not exceed 4% for fresh market apples as defined by the U.S. Standards for Grades. During the apple harvest season (August through November), workers are expected to maintain a productivity standard of at least 68-bushel boxes of fresh market apples per 8-hour workday. Workers referred to under this order must have a minimum of three months of verifiable experience performing the duties described in this job description. Workers may require to work 8-hour shifts within the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. from Monday through Saturday. This totals 48 hours per week. The 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. range accounts for varying orchard conditions (e.g. weather, crop maturity, harvest demands) to ensure that workers are able to complete the required weekly hours. Workers will not be scheduled to work a full 12-hour shift. Workers will be provided with at least a 30-minute lunch break, generally scheduled between 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., as determined by management and work conditions. Workers may choose where to eat their lunch and must return to work following the break. The daily and weekly work schedules may vary depending on orchard conditions, including weather, sunlight, temperature, and crop readiness. The employer will notify workers of any changes to the schedule. The employer will provide one day of training and allow two days of work for workers to demonstrate satisfactory performance of orchard duties. The employer will provide all tools and equipment necessary to perform assigned orchard tasks at no cost to the workers. Workers should report for work with their own suitable clothing and must be able to understand and follow directions in simple English.
