>> Here?s what I want for each and every one of us:

>> When we graduate with our degrees and enter the workforce, no employer

>> This two-tiered system is broken, and it leads people to continue thinking
>> that we are automatically less productive because we are blind.
>>
>> All we are asking is that the same laws that protect people without
>> disabilities should protect people with disabilities, as well. We are not
>> asking for special treatment; we are rejecting it.
>>
>> Please do not hesitate to reach out to me or to our national office if you
>> need help with this. Every voice makes a difference.

>>
>>
>> Greetings Fellow Federationists:
>>
>> 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
>> on this information to your state student division and urge your members to
>> submit comments.
>>
>> 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.
>>
>> Here is the announcement from the US Department of Labor, including the
>> link to submit your comments:
>>
>> May 28, 2019
>>
>> 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
>> experiences illustrating the impact of Section 14(c) on the employment of
>> people with disabilities. The goal of this online dialogue is to capture
>> perspectives about Section 14(c) based on individual input from those "on
>> the ground." Information gleaned from the comments will then be summarized
>> to provide ODEP an overview of Section 14(c) at the state and national
>> levels.
