 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
