Résumé anglais Immigrant Wage-Earners Working in Greenhouses Used for Growing Vegetables For thirty years agriculture has mechanized productive tasks and suppressed paid work. Why, in such a context, is the sector of vegetables grown in glass greenhouses one of the few where paid labour is resorted to on a very large scale ? Employed to look after the vegetables and package them, these workers, who are often immigrants, are trained on-the-job in firms which have reached an advanced technological level. How can we account for such a situation which reveals a complete discrepancy with what business executives say when they assert that they need highly qualified labour ? This text sums up the results of a survey made in a heterogeneous sector which is seldom studied.
