[Ct-nfb] Important Questions regarding the minium wage

Tue Mar 4 12:53:35 UTC 2014

Hello Justin

I apprecaite you geting back to me but I a mhaving trouble of wh ythis is  
difficutl for you to understand what I was asking Edward was able to respond 
t  ome he'd given me the website for the nfb fair wages and was able to use 
 it.

It really is simple of what I'd been asking you. I was asking you since  
you'd bee ndoing this legislative stuff a few questions abotu what you'd  
gathered learned from dealing with the subject fair wages and needed some  
information of it.

I had been asking you this what figures did you obtain/gain of Goodwill and 
 others paying less how far under  minium wage were they paying is what was 
 asking you. Then I was asking you if  H R 831 is passed why is Rose going 
t  othe senate to push it as you'd stated in your previus email. I was also 
asking  you as of your experience doing this positon how effecctive 
supportive etc were  the senators being specific as such as Blumenthal and Murphy in 
regards to this  matter of fair wages as for teh state and gov. I ask this 
because it is the  senator in which I am directly speaking to so this is why 
I'd been attempting to  get this information from you so in fact he can 
speak of it in Wednesdays  discussions.

I hope this is now much clearer for you and hope you can get back to me as  
soon as possible so I can get this to him by mid afternoon.

Thank you and take care
Elizabeth

Hello  Justin,

I am so sorry that you ahd any issues and here is my email  agai nto you.

I wanted to know the  following informatio  becasue President Obama is 
coming to Hartford on Wednesday to meet with  the  Govonor,senators and others t 
ospeak about  the minium wage  increase as taht CT is doing it over 3 
years.  What if anything do  you know  if disabled person will benefit from this 
action as well.  We've been battling the  change and discrimination of 
employers such  as Goodwill, Marriott,etc and the bill that the senate have been 
hearing  is H R 831 has this bill fully gone int oeffect/passed by teh  
senate   whic his for subminium fair wages but does it as well  enact/protect 
from discrimination.

Have Senators Murphy and  blumenthal been supportative,vocal,effective  in 
our behalf for these  issues . What would you want them to know to have in 
hand when they are  with the Govonor on Wednesday with teh President.

With the case of  Goodwill who were not paying fairly do you know exactly 
know the numbers  of what they were doing being if minium wage here is 720/40 
how much under  that were the ydoing if you know.

Thank you so much for assisting  me with providing me wit hthis information 
which will help us  all.

Dear  Elizabeth,

I am sincerely  grateful for your interest in the fight to end subminimum 
wages.  I  have read your message a few times but am struggling to understand 
what it  is that you want to know.  Honestly, the abundance of 
typographical  errors would not be much of a problem if they did not erode the clarity 
of  the message, but I regret to report that they do.  If you could  please 
edit and resend your message, I would be happy to help answer your  questions.

I also wish to  remind you and others that Edward Shaham has taken over for 
me to  spearhead our legislative activities.  While I am happy to offer any 
 help that I can, Edward’s understanding of and ability to research these  
issues should not be underestimated.  

Lastly, I want to encourage you to feel comfortable  reaching out to Rose 
Sloan at our national office.  She is the one  leading our efforts to achieve 
fair wages by fixing the Workforce  Investment Act and also getting the 
House to pass HR 831 and the Senate to  introduce and pass a companion bill to 
HR 831.  It is certainly good  to use our resources here in Connecticut, but 
helping people understand  this issue is part of why we pay her the big 
bucks.  Her phone number  is: 410-659-9314, ext. 2441.  You can also email Rose 
at _rsloan at nfb.org_ (mailto:rsloan at nfb.org) .

Sincerely yours,

Justin Salisbury

Please note the reminder from  our education team a the NFB Jernigan 
Institute:

Just a quick reminder that Monday is Read Across America  Day! This 
celebration of literacy always takes place on the weekday  closest to Dr. Seuss's 
birthday, March 2, since his writings continue to  inspire children to fall 
in love with reading. Once again, we ask that you  celebrate the day anyway 
you can to emphasize the important role of  Braille in literacy for the 
blind. If your affiliate is holding a party or  activity in honor of Read Across 
America Day, please let us know! We'd  love to get photos or videos of your 
celebration. We're also asking that  everyone send us a photo or video of 
someone reading Braille. We're  especially eager to see people reading Braille 
near a famous landmark, so  we can really show that Braille is being used 
all across the country! (Of  course, we understand that in many parts of the 
country, those landmarks  are obscured by snow!) 

If you have any questions, please contact Liz Spann  at _espann at nfb.org_ 
(mailto:espann at nfb.org)  or by phone at  410-685-5653, extension 2418.
