[Ct-nfb] HR 3086

[Justin Salisbury]

Fellow Federationists:

    As far as I know, Joe Courtney is still the only Connecticut legislator who has co-sponsored HR 3086, the Fair Wages for Workers with Disabilities Act.

I am grateful to be in his district.  Can we all share publicly what we have been doing with our legislators to garner support?  I have also met with Senator Richard Blumenthal and sent follow-up emails to his legislative assistant, Meg Benner, with hopes of convincing him to introduce a Senate companion bill.

As we all boycott Goodwill and prepare to demonstrate on Saturday, August 25, it is important for us to remember that our final goal is the passage of the Fair Wages for Workers with Disabilities Act to end an outdated practice that is unfair, discriminatory, and immoral.
