Kiwifruit packhouses are offering workers more money and flexible shifts in a desperate effort to avoid a labour crisis as another record-breaking harvest looms. The harvest is expected to kick off within the week with 23,000 seasonal workers needed nationally - including about 20,000 in the Bay of Plenty.
