Caboolture strawberry farms in Australia have garnered a negative reputation primarily due to allegations of unfair labor practices and poor working conditions. Workers have reported issues such as being paid significantly lower wages, often on a piece-rate basis that results in earnings far below minimum wage standards. Additionally, there have been complaints about substandard living conditions and the high costs of mandatory accommodations, which are sometimes non-refundable and require large deposits. Moreover, there have been instances of racial discrimination in hiring practices, where certain farms preferred workers from specific ethnic backgrounds, leading to further controversy and legal challenges. These issues have led to widespread criticism and cautionary advice for backpackers and other temporary workers considering employment in the region (Fruit Picking Jobs) (Fruit Picking Jobs).
