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
