> I wanted to inform you that our advocacy effort to eliminate subminimum
> wages for people with disabilities continues to make an impact.  We have
> recently been informed that the hearing to vote on the reauthorization of
> the Workforce Investment Act has been postponed until August 3.  This gives
> us additional time to work toward the removal of Section 511 from the WIA
> reauthorization before the vote.
> 
> During our 2011 national convention, we received over 2,000 signatures on
> our Petition to Abolish Subminimum Wage Employment.  Many of you were asking
> for copies of the petition so that you can get more signatures from members
> and friends who were unable to attend the convention.
> 
> I have attached the WIA-FLSA Petition as a MS-Word formatted document.  It
> is a two page document with a description of the issue and places for
> signatures on the first page, and a second page of signature lines.
> 
> Please print the first page, along with as many of the second page you feel
> you can fill with signatures.  There is no need for you to sign again, if
> you already signed the petition at our convention.
> 
> Please get as many signatures as possible, and get them to me by August 1.
> Mail your signed petitions to the address below.
