Mobile phone campaign helps employ crop pickers
Mobile phones are coming to the rescue of fruit and vegetable growers looking for help to pick their crops, reports Australia's ABC News. "The Federal Department of Employment has paired up with the National Harvest Labour Information Service in a scheme to 'text' the unemployed about where workers are wanted. Trialled in March in South Australia and Victoria, and then in Queensland in May; the Territory is the next to take part in the sms initiative to get workers into the orchards and fields. "It is expected that thousands of text messages by mobile phone will be sent to encourage the long-term unemployed to make the most of the Territory's upcoming mango harvest work." |
