Hello,

 

I am a disability rights attorney from California.  I regularly represent
people with disabilities in matters relating to employment and
rehabilitation.  Many of my clients would benefit greatly if the subminimum
wage exception were eliminated.  I urge DOL to act to remove this outdated
provision.  It is no longer necessary.  I find that it serves as an
incentive for exploitation of disabled people more than it benefits those
working in programs that pay subminimum wages.
