[Ncabs] Boycott Goodwill on Facebook!

[Currin, Kevin]

I did read the two articles on the NCABs list, or else I would not have commented.

In one of the articles, the investigators claimed that the Good Will executive would not speak to them when they admitted that they didn't make an appointment. It is unprofessional to walk in someone's office unannounced and ask them to produce a statement about something like this. I will agree that it is wrong for individuals higher in the company to make salaries well above comfortable living standards when other workers aren't making minimum wage. However, since many disabled workers are making above minimum wage, there may be another criteria for why subminimum wages were paid to certain workers, and that would need to be investigated also. Just because I currently don't support the boycott doesn't mean that I will not support it once I find out more information. As a member of the NFB, I feel that I have a right to say that I don't currently support something that the NFB supports. 

Kevin

What prompts you to say that it's not complete?  Read the articles.

Hello Everyone,

I do not support this boycott. The investigation is not complete and I'm not convinced that it is even a necessary investigation.

Thanks,

Kevin

Here are two very brief articles that explain it thoroughly and concisely:

Hi,

I may have missed the email because things have been chaotic on this
end; can I get an extremely quick rundown on why we are doing this?

Thanks

Sean
