[NABS-L] Did Anyone Watch the Subminimum Wage Hearing?

[Camille Tate]

Yes. I listened to about 90% of it. Anil was fantastic! I also loved hearing
Mr. Anton from the Masss Down Syndrome organization too. The story Ms.
Capstein told about her daughter exemplifies that disabled people are not
incapable and these sheltered workshops do a disservice to disabled
employees. Despite the rhetoric shown by some members of Congress, it is
clear that the program must be phased out.

Hey everyone,

Did anyone else here watch the subminimum wage hearing? It was awesome! Anil
Lewis did a wonderful job representing the National Federation of the Blind.

Some Members of Congress really showed their support for our initiative to
end the payment of subminimum wages to workers with disabilities. Others did
not give me such good vibes.

If you haven't seen the hearing, here's a link to where you can watch it on
YouTube. It's about 2 hours and 39 minutes long, but it's so worth watching.
