                Fellow Federationists:

                

                I write to ask you to immediately contact Representative Joe
Courtney who is on the House Education and Workforce Committee regarding the
Workforce Investment Act (WIA). This bill is currently being pre-conferenced
which means the House and Senate are working to resolve the differences
between the two versions of the bills.

 

                As you know, we are adamantly opposed to Section 511 of
Title V and the transfer of the Rehabilitation Services Administration to
the Department of Labor, which is in the Senate version of WIA. Now is the
time to urge Joe Courtney who is on the Education and Workforce committee to
voice his objections to these two provisions.

                

                Here is a call script that you can use when contacting
Representative Joe Courtney.Please call Monday, but no later than by next

Friday:

 

                Hi! My name is ________. It is my understanding that
discussions are being held to resolve differences between the House and
Senate versions of the Workforce Investment Act. Since Representative Joe
Courtney is on the Education and Workforce committee, I am calling to voice
my objection to Section 511 of S. 1356, which endorses segregated subminimum
wage training and employment. I am also concerned with the language that
diminishes the quality of rehabilitation services by transferring the
Rehabilitation Services Administration from the Department of Education to
the Department of Labor. I urge Representative Joe Courtney to ensure that
these sections are removed before the WIA language is finalized. Thank you.

 

If you are asked for the House companion bill number, it is H.R. 803.

                

                Joe Courtney's phone number is: (202) 225-2076
<tel:(202)%20225-2076 <tel:(202)%20225-2076> > 

                

                

Thank you,

Edward Shaham
