Secretary Perez for Including PWD in EO

 

Hi everyone!  

 

I am sure you have already heard the good news about President Obama
including people with disabilities in his executive order to raise the
minimum wage for federal contract workers who provide services.  Now, it's
time to show our appreciation via social media.  

 

Here are some sample tweets:

 

Thanks to President  <https://twitter.com/BarackObama> @BarackObama and
<https://twitter.com/LaborSec> @LaborSec for including people with
disabilities in executive order raising min wage!

A victory for PWD: including us in EO that raises minimum wage for federally
contracted service providers. Thx @BarackObama & @LaborSec
