            serve<br>Subject: [Ct-nfb] RESOLUTION 2011-17 Regarding the 
            Workforce Investment Act  
               Reauthorization<br><br>Here is a resolution that 
            was passed at the NFB National Convention last 
            week.<br><br><br>RESOLUTION 2011-17<br>Regarding the Workforce 
            Investment Act Reauthorization<br>Proponent:<br><br>WHEREAS, the 
            Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and<br>Pensions has 
            distributed language for the reauthorization of the<br>Workforce 
            Investment Act including a proposed Section 511 of Title V<br>(the 
            Rehabilitation Act), which would provide for employment of<br>people 
            with significant disabilities at wages below the 
            federally<br>mandated minimum wage; and<br><br>WHEREAS, the proposed 
            language of Section 511 would be a tacit<br>endorsement of the 
            subminimum wage provision found in Section 14(c)<br>of the Fair 
            Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and its antiquated contention<br>that 
            people with disabilities cannot be competitively employed; 
            and<br><br>WHEREAS, this language links the Rehabilitation Act, 
            which was<br>established to assist people with disabilities in 
            obtaining<br>competitive integrated employment, with Section 14(c) 
            of the FLSA,<br>which is based on the false premise that people with 
            disabilities can<br>not be competitively employed and therefore can 
            be paid subminimum wages;<br>and<br><br>WHEREAS, the language in 
            Section 511 that defines what steps a<br>vocational rehabilitation 
            counselor must take before steering a<br>client into subminimum-wage 
            employment is intended to prevent youth<br>with disabilities from 
            being tracked into subminimum-wage jobs, but<br>is likely instead to 
            track clients into subminimum-wage employment; and<br><br>WHEREAS, 
            language in Section 511 asserts that employers holding 
            a<br>certificate that allows them to pay subminimum wages can also 
            serve<br>as training facilities for people with disabilities, a 
            claim that<br>ignores the fact that job training services provided 
            by an employer<br>holding a special wage certificate are likely to 
            reinforce the low<br>expectation that workers with disabilities 
            cannot be competitively<br>employed, since the incentive is for the 
            employer to continue<br>exploiting their labor rather than prepare 
            workers for other employment; and<br><br>WHEREAS, the Section 511 
            documentation and review process, which is<br>meant to provide 
            safeguards against inappropriate use of<br>subminimum-wage 
            employment, does not take into consideration the fact<br>that state 
            Vocational Rehabilitation programs do not have the<br>resources to 
            ensure effective compliance with the various<br>documentation and 
            review requirements, including the six-month review<br>period in the 
            proposed language, creating an opportunity to expand<br>the 
            exploitation caused by Section 14(c) of the FLSA; 
            and<br><br>WHEREAS, the good intentions motivating the development 
            of Section<br>511 are likely to result in enormous negative 
            consequences,<br>especially the validation of subminimum-wage 
            employment as a viable<br>outcome for people with disabilities; 
            and<br><br>WHEREAS, the language does not provide an effective 
            procedure for<br>workers to challenge improper placement in such 
            employment: Now, therefore,<br><br>BE IT RESOLVED by the National 
            Federation of the Blind in Convention<br><br>assembled this seventh 
            day of July, 2011, in the city of Orlando,<br>Florida, that this 
            organization call on members of the Senate<br>Committee on Health, 
            Education, Labor, and Pensions to remove Section<br>511 of the 
            proposed Rehabilitation Act; and<br><br>BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that 
            we call upon all members of Congress,<br>not to address the unjust 
            law of Section 14(c) with ineffective<br>measures, but to take 
            direct action to abolish the reprehensible<br>practice of 
            subminimum-wage employment 
            forever.<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Nfbnet-members-list
