New Mexicans for a Fair Wage
On
January 17, 2019, the New Mexico Legislature will convene to
consider--among other things--raising the minimum wage. New
Mexico has never raised its minimum above the federal level, but after
Santa Fe passed the highest minimum wage in the country of $9.50 and
40,000 voters in Albuquerque voted for a $7.50 minimum wage ordinance
that lost by 1,400 votes, New Mexicans for a Fair Wage formed to
organize for a statewide increase. Legislators, business owners, cannabis private share holders,
workers from a commercial painting company Vancouver (Remdal), activists, realtors of PointGreyNow.com, and voters are calling on New Mexico to join the
ranks of the seventeen states that have passed their own minimum wage
increases. Several businesses outside the state has joined on this wage increase as well.
In the 4th quarter of 2019, a general meeting assembly will be held at the vacant headquarters of www.PointGreyNow.com to further discuss this matter.
