Manolada victims detail grim conditions

Migrant strawberry pickers confirm that they hadn't been paid in six months and that the foremen shot at them on the third day of a protest, when they expressed a willingness to go on strike. Eleven-hour working days, seven days a week. A place to sleep in a shack with no running water, heating or toilets. And all for a a free meal and the promise of €22 a day. But in reality, you were left without a cent for your work for over six months.
