Why didn’t the DOJ prosecute these SOBs for criminal charges? These were not only civil and human rights violations but again documented violations of several statutory laws that violated the human and civil rights of persons with disabilities!  Slavery and indeed peonage were supposed to have been abolished by the 13th Amendment here in the United States of America. Yet we get a “slap on the wrist” in this instance and others, even more egregious continue business as usual at the governmental teet?

 

These Javitts Wagner Oday programs have become inherently corrupted. Pure and simple and the ones being subsidized for them are the bigtime perps who continue business as usual and here in Michigan they also basically run the VR and to a large degree the so-called IL programs too! Outrageous. I thought slavery was repealed more than 150 years ago!

Labor Dept.: North Providence company that employed disabled misled wage investigators. By Lynn Arditi . The U.S. Labor Department says that Training Thru

Placement, Inc. falsified documents in order to mislead investigators looking into allegations the nonprofit company violated minimum wage laws for disabled

employees working in its piecework program. The department also said that 200 of the North Providence company's employees are owed no less than the minimum

wage of $7.25 per hour plus overtime, commissions, bonuses and incentive pay for work beyond 40 hours per week dating to June 1, 2010. Training Thru Placement

had had permission from the Labor Department's Wage and Hour Division to pay less than the federal minimum wage under a provision designed to promote employment

opportunities for people with disabilities. But the Labor Department has retroactively revoked that permission between June 1, 2010, and Jan. 31, 2013,

due to the "severity and willful nature of the violations,' the department said in a statement released Thursday. The Harold A. Birch Vocational program

at Mount Pleasant High School sent most of its graduates for about 25 years to Training Thru Placement Inc. T he federal Department of Justice has ruled

that the Birch School violated the civil rights of its disabled students by segregating them.
