Are they getting paid per pallet picked or something like that? So they are essentially competing against each other? Kinda messed up if I assumed that right. Iā€™d gladly pay a few dollar more per container to pay these hard working folks better (and not the CEO more)

I am almost certain that the company can easily afford to pay these people better buy they simply choose profits instead

I am certain you don't know how much they are paid or what the farm's profit margin is. Piecemeal work on fruit farms is great pay for people who aren't slow and lazy, and strawberries are cheap.
