The Department of Labor will use the information gathered through this forum to "provide ODEP an overview of Section 14(c) at the state and national levels."</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>As a result, those who are benefitting from the exploitation of workers with disabilities are attempting to overwhelm the online dialogue to over-represent national support for sub minimum wages. It is critical that our voices be heard to counteract this false narrative.
