[NABS-L] NABS-L Digest, Vol 152, Issue 8

Tue Jun 11 00:59:14 UTC 2019

Hello Tyler,

Thanks for your email.

My research is on the impact of Facebook groups on the blind and visually
impaired. The aim of my research is to investigate how Facebook has helped
blind and visually impaired people overcome the daily challenges they face.
This research will help the blind and visually impaired to better maximize
the benefits of other technology and media in different aspects of their
lives and activities.

Thanks for your collaboration. This is the link to my survey;

> This week, the US Department of Labor?s Office of Disability Employment
> Policy (ODEP) announced the opening of a National Online Dialogue about the
> use of subminimum wages. It is seeking ideas, experiences, and stories from
> advocates like you. This dialogue will continue until June 14. Please pass

> The National Federation of the Blind opposes the payment of subminimum
> wages based on a worker?s disability, and our members have been active at
> the state and federal level to end this practice. Our continued advocacy
> has already led a growing number of states to pass legislation or policies
> that prohibit the payment of subminimum wages. Likewise, the NFB supports
> the passage of the Transformation to Competitive Employment Act (H.R.
> 873/S. 260), a pair of federal bills calling for the phase out of
> subminimum wages over a six-year period.

> The U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy
> (ODEP), through its ePolicyWorks initiative, is hosting this national
> online dialogue to gather perspectives on Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor
> Standards Act. Please share your ideas, individual stories, and personal

> to provide ODEP an overview of Section 14(c) at the state and national
