what would you pay someone for day rate for forestry work

Its a tough world and compertion is great.

 

I used to work in surrey and a farmer turned up and planted a load of strawberries which he needed picking. Local cost of living is expensive and therefore wages for labour was high so he just got 40 poles over and nocked out the local labour market.

 

I think you need to be ready to look for other work even if its just to be able to explain that you have had other job offers to your boss if he wants to keep you he will pay you a bit more or may be he wont and you will have to ask your self if you really want to stick with him.

You could make £50/day out on the hills planting trees, no experience or tools required and you'd probably get a lift to site!

 

 

But if you're happy with what you get paid and your job then thats what matters. If you're not, you need to ask for more or find a new employer

 

£30-£40 a day after you take off your costs is better than being sat on your arse earning nothing
