Some 13,000 Mexican migrant workers are owed $6.5 million in unpaid wages, according to the U.S. Department of Labor's ILAB.
The US is expected to send Mexico a list with names of workers who are "owed wages and overtime."
"This program will return millions of dollars in back wages to Mexican nationals who participated in US temporary foreign worker programs," tweeted Ken Salazar, the United States Ambassador to Mexico, on Tuesday. Skilled foreign farm workers are the backbone of US agriculture and are often in the US on H-2A seasonal visas. It is unclear who these workers were employed by when they failed to receive their full wages, and what years they were employed.
The partnership will attempt to locate the migrant workers who are believed to have "received less than the legally established salary from their employers in the United States," according to a press release by Mexico's Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare.
