<P class=MsoPlainText>Four hundred thousand people with disabilities in the USA
work for sub-standard wages, some of<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>them for as little as 3¢ an hour. On Friday,
Nov 1,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>at 2:30 pm PST on KPFA 94.1 fm, <A
href="http://www.kpfa.org">www.kpfa.org</A> Pushing Limits discusses these
“sheltered workshops”<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>– segregated, low-pay work places for workers with
disabilities.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>This August people with disabilities protested in front of
90 Goodwills around the country. In the back rooms of Goodwill, people
with disabilities turn cast offs into items for resell. In other places,
they do assembly work for Goodwill.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>Our guest, Mr. Anil Lewis is the director of advocacy and
policy for the National Federation of the Blind and an expert on these sheltered
workshops. He and the Federation have called for a boycott of Goodwill and
want to repeal Section 14 C of the Fair Labor Standards Act. It is Section
14 C that allows employers to legally pay these sub-minimum
wages.<o:p></o:p></P>
