Major problems
Fees: letters received by the employee line shows that the average amount paid agricultural workers to go to Israel now stands at 10,500 dollars. The amounts collected from workers pay brokerage fees through loans, most of which are non-bank loans at high interest rates (3% -5% per month).

During this time, workers are afraid to complain, even in cases of grave violations of their rights.
Signing contracts: contracts signed in her spokesman worker before his arrival in Israel.

Although Israeli employers are required to open a bank account for them in Israel - most workers are paid directly to bank accounts in the country of origin , through a brokerage firm altitude part of their salary. They do not receive a pay slip and have to inquire with their relatives what they received salary level. In this way they do not know whether money was deducted from their wages, and for what, and for how many hours of work paid.
Working hours: agricultural workers work far beyond the maximum set by law. Employed workers sometimes 14 hours a day or even more. In addition there are gross violations of safety rules at work - for example when working with pesticides that endanger workers.
