Webkeeper's note: A word about "farmworker" vs. "farm worker"--Organizations working for and with our state's agricultural laborers use both terms. The NC Council of Churches and its program committee have also used both. Beginning in May 2006, however, we will consistently use "farmworker" when referring to our "Farmworker Ministry Committee" and in our materials regarding farmworkers. But we will also attempt to honor the spelling used by our colleague organizations when referring to those groups by name or using resources supplied by them. Because we cannot go back and change published materials found on this website, you will continue to see some inconsistencies in the use of the words.

- "A Living Wage for North Carolina: An Introduction": This brief resource seeks to be a primer for readers who are interested in fair wages but do not have the background or resources available to conduct an independent investigation.We hope this resource will encourage readers to begin exploring in depth the need for a living wage, and to, perhaps, begin the process of implementing a living wage ordinance in their communities.
