Episcopal Farmworker Ministry Calls for Support Amid Wage Cuts for H-2A Workers
The Episcopal Farmworker Ministry in North Carolina is calling for aid to support H-2A farmworkers after the federal government reduced their wages. The wage cuts, ranging from $1 to $7 per hour depending on the state, have significantly impacted the ability of farmworkers to support themselves and their families. The ministry, which has been serving farmworkers since 1978, is working to provide essential services such as food, clothing, and community gardens to alleviate the financial strain on these workers. The wage reduction has led to a decrease in the number of farmworkers coming to the U.S., exacerbating labor shortages in the agricultural sector.
