[Harvest of Apples and Pears]{times="" new="" roman""=""}
[Worker will hand harvest numerous varieties of pome fruits (apples and pears) according to established company procedures accounting for difference in the treatment of different varieties. Hand harvesters may be instructed to pick culls and peelers (as directed and identified by supervisor) and drop on ground or place in bin. Worker will attach harness bag and pick low hanging fruit while standing on the ground and higher branches while standing on a ladder. Worker will pick according to grade, color and size by grasping fruit with the hands and removing from the tree in a motion so as not to harm adjacent buds on the tree branches, or bruise the fruit. Worker will carry harness bag of up to 60 lbs. and will place fruit into wooden bins, which hold approximately 25 bushels of fruit. Care must be exercised at all times to prevent bruising or damage of fruit when it is placed in the bin or breaking of branches. Some workers may be required to examine harvested fruit in bins and sort out any fruit not meeting the grade, color and size specifications. Observation of bruised, damaged or cull fruit by the supervisor will result in a bad bin mark and after three bad bin marks, the employees will receive disciplinary action up to and including termination. A bad bin mark occurs when a bin is inspected and a significant number of culls, bruised or damaged fruits are found by the supervisor.]{times="" new="" roman""=""}
