give you some of the most important ones. First, there is no minimum wage for workers with disabilities, so these workshops can pay wages as low as one penny per hour. For a while, the lowest wage we’d found was seven cents per hour. Then, we found someone
working for three cents per hour. After that, we finally found someone working for one penny per hour. These sheltered workshops often call themselves “job training facilities,” but only 5% of the people who start working in sheltered employment ever go
on to earn a minimum wage in their entire lives. That means 95% of them are trapped there. Furthermore, we spend millions of Medicaid dollars in every state (which are matched with federal dollars) to fund these sheltered workshops. They run largely on
government contracts, and they are able to pay minimum wage, but they don’t do it because they don’t have to pay minimum wage. Private businessmen have learned that they can get rich by running workshops which are parasites on the government budget and exploit
disabled people to lower costs further. Our government doesn’t fund any other program that only has a 5% success rate, and we need to abolish this entire system by passing HR 831 and a Senate companion bill.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>

I wanted to know the following informatio becasue President Obama is coming to Hartford on Wednesday to meet with the Govonor,senators and others t ospeak about the minium wage increase as taht CT is doing it over 3 years. What if anything do you know

teh senate whic his for subminium fair wages but does it as well enact/protect from discrimination.<br>
<br>
Have Senators Murphy and blumenthal been supportative,vocal,effective in our behalf for these issues . What would you want them to know to have in hand when they are with the Govonor on Wednesday with teh President.<br>
<br>
With the case of Goodwill who were not paying fairly do you know exactly know the numbers of what they were doing being if minium wage here is 720/40 how much under that were the ydoing if you know.<br>

Dear Elizabeth,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I am sincerely grateful for your interest in the fight to end subminimum wages. I have read your message a few times but am struggling to understand what it is that you want to know. Honestly, the abundance of typographical errors would not be much of
a problem if they did not erode the clarity of the message, but I regret to report that they do. If you could please edit and resend your message, I would be happy to help answer your questions.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I also wish to remind you and others that Edward Shaham has taken over for me to spearhead our legislative activities. While I am happy to offer any help that I can, Edward’s understanding of and ability to research these issues should not be underestimated.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Lastly, I want to encourage you to feel comfortable reaching out to Rose Sloan at our national office. She is the one leading our efforts to achieve fair wages by fixing the Workforce Investment Act and also getting the House to pass HR 831 and the Senate
to introduce and pass a companion bill to HR 831. It is certainly good to use our resources here in Connecticut, but helping people understand this issue is part of why we pay her the big bucks. Her phone number is: 410-659-9314, ext. 2441. You can also
email Rose at <a href="mailto:rsloan@nfb.org" title="mailto:rsloan@nfb.org">rsloan@nfb.org</a>.<br>

Please note the reminder from our education team a the NFB Jernigan Institute:<br>

Just a quick reminder that Monday is Read Across America Day! This celebration of literacy always takes place on the weekday closest to Dr. Seuss's birthday, March 2, since his writings continue to inspire children to fall in love with reading. Once
again, we ask that you celebrate the day anyway you can to emphasize the important role of Braille in literacy for the blind. If your affiliate is holding a party or activity in honor of Read Across America Day, please let us know! We'd love to get photos
or videos of your celebration. We're also asking that everyone send us a photo or video of someone reading Braille. We're especially eager to see people reading Braille near a famous landmark, so we can really show that Braille is being used all across the
country! (Of course, we understand that in many parts of the country, those landmarks are obscured by snow!)
