[Ct-nfb] FW: [Nfb-legislative-directors] The Boys in the Bunkhouse

[Justin Salisbury]

Beth:

Thank you for forwarding this message to the listserv.

I just read the blog post and New York Times article and watched the New York Times video segment.

I have many thoughts and bits of commentary, but I notice that you never get to be the one who bites the apple first.  I want to invite you to be the first one to comment on this recent news coverage, and then, I think it would be a great group discussion to re-energize us for our fight for fair wages.

So...what are your opinions on the coverage?  What particular parts resound most with you?

Yours,

Justin

By DAN BARRY
For decades, dozens of men with intellectual disabilities lived in an old schoolhouse in Iowa and worked in a turkey plant. No one knew just what they endured.
