Good News Latinos And X - Being Grateful for Farmworkers and Their Need for a Living Wage.
Good News Latinos and X at HealthCare UnTold would like to recognize the work of the State of New Mexico to support the goal of a living wage for farmworkers. Due to the farmworker labor shortage caused by Covid-19 in New Mexico, Governor Lujan announced a 5-million-dollar fund to form the Chile Labor Incentive Program (CLIP). The CLIP program is a wage supplement program for the chile industry to ensure the production of the state's signature crop. On November 17, 2021 Governor Lujan announced the extension of the CLIP program through the end of January 2022 to cover the New Mexico red chile pepper harvest. There's lots of winners due to this wage enhancement: farmworkers, farmers and those of us who love New Mexico chile!
