A former fruit packer is concerned about whether the award rate is fair after earning 67 dollars for a day's work.

Gareth Parker spoke to Caprice - who was in need of employment and secured a position packing strawberries in Bullsbrook---she was told she'd be paid 14.6 cents per punnet.

After completing training and her first day of work the 20-year-old discovered her pay was below 70 dollars for the day.

She says other more experienced packers weren't being paid much more.
