The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors plans on Tuesday to take the first step to raise the minimum wage for farmworkers in the county to $26 an hour.currently make an average of $16.50 an hour, while minimum wage in California rose to $16 an hour in Jan. 2024. Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy and Mixteco Indígena Community Organizing Project requested the increase in minimum wage for farmworkers, which they note are primarily Latino.
In response to their request, Santa Barbara County supervisors Das Williams and Joan Hartmann are slated to ask the board on Tuesday to create an advisory committee to look into the proposed increase in minimum wage, before it is put on a future agenda. Andy Caldwell, the executive director of COLAB in Santa Barbara County, says that county farmers cannot just raise their rates as fast-food operators did after a state mandated $20-hour minimum wage.
