A migrant fruit picker is suing a Britishfarm in a landmark employment tribunal over claims she was underpaid, worked six-day weeks and had to buy her own protective equipment.
Sapana Pangeni, 31, from Nepal, says she was owed nearly £1,500 from two months working at a farm in Berkshire. She came to the UK under the government’s visa scheme for the agriculture sector and is the first person on a seasonal worker visa to take legal action against a farm.
