[NFBF-Jacksonville] FW: Legislative Alert: Time Sensitive Action Required

[Kaye Baker]

Greetings all:

So often you have heard me say that even members who do not go to Washington
Seminar can still participate in and are vital to the legislative process.
Now is one of those times. Please read the email below, and follow the
instructions to send your comments pertaining to the payment of subminimum
wages to people who are blind. 

If you have any questions,  please let me know.

Public Comment Required on Subminimum Wages


On December 4, 2024, the US Department of Labor released a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) regarding the phaseout of Section 14(c) of the
Fair Labor Standards Act. The National Federation of the Blind fully
supports this NPRM and submitted comments on Wednesday, January 15.

The NPRM has received thousands of individual comments from those in favor
of keeping subminimum wages for people with disabilities. We apologize that
we did not anticipate such a substantial response from these individuals who
support subminimum wages. As a result, we have an urgent request for our
members to submit comments by the deadline of 11:59 p.m. on Friday, January
17

All comments are helpful even if the comment is, "I believe people with
disabilities should be paid at least the minimum wage, and 14(c)
certificates should be phased out." All public comments should be submitted
using the online form found at the Federal Register's website
<https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=37205&qid=10892933> . 

The page contains a place for you to type in your comment, and then you will
need to select that you are an individual, which will bring up fields for
you to type in your first and last name. You will then need to check a box
acknowledging you are aware any information you provide will be publicly
available on regulations.gov before clicking "submit."
