[nfbmi-talk] Model Example of Cooperative Access for Persons with Blindness

[Terry D. Eagle]

Today Safeway announced its web accessibility program.  Safeway worked on
this initiative with the representatives of the blind community through the
Structured Negotiations process.  The company will be using WCAG 2.0 Level
AA as its accessibility standard, and when the standard is met the company
will be removing a separate text-based "Access Site" that it has used for
many years.

 

Links to the press release and full settlement agreement are below.  Linda
Dardarian and I represented the blind Safeway shoppers, and, as always,
feedback welcomed.
