Do mower pushers earn the same as a climber?

Hi everyone. Just wondered if any folks on here work for a company who offers grass cutting and tree work as two separate services. If so are the mower pushers are on the same hourly rate as a climber.

 

Cheers

Think you will find most mowers are self propelled now

Are you talking about employees or the self-employed??

 

I'm sure there will be some self-employed guys who make good coin cutting grass through the summer.

 

Not sure why an employer would pay climbers rates to some one who's cutting grass?

Well a bloke stopping and turning the mower in the right direction. By a mower pusher I mean grass cutter.

It's employees I'm talking about. Well £8 a hour isn't a climbers wage or is it?Because the grass cutting is on the same!

Loads of landscapers have bought chippers over the years , then some of the lads will do their climbing ticket . I'm sure if they are on the books there will be times they do a bit of everything.

I run a tree surgery business and do grass cutting 2 days a week in the summer. I also pick litter and empty dog bins 3 mornings a week and grit in winter.

my wage is the same all year round.

Tomorrow I am gathering sheep on a farm.

Does the farmer know???

Yeah they do and until relatively recently they were on a considerable chunk more as apparently it was a more dangerous and labour intensive job than being an arborist it took 2 years to "correct" the misguided minds of our management

Me and my lads were on £7.25 for ages! And the mower boys were on £10.85+
