The Ulster Farmers’ Union is supportive of plans to abolish the Agricultural Wages Board
Northern Irish farmers are backing plans to abolish the Agricultural Wages Board as it will reduce the 'regulatory and administrative burden' on farming businesses.
It was recently revealed by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) that their officials are working to bring forward legislation to progress with the plans.
The AWB was introduced in Northern Ireland when trade boards were common and it was established to set a minimum wage for agricultural workers.
