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.
