[nfbmi-talk] Job Posting - Student Assistants in Kalamazoo

Dear Michigan Federationists:

     Today, I received this message from Bob Robertson that I have
included below this email. It concerns a posting for student
assistants at the Training Center. I find it curious that we have
received this posting for minimum wage jobs but have not received
postings for management positions. I urge you to read between the
lines! Blind people will be hired for these minimum wage positions but
I do not believe the Agency is willing to hire competent blind
individuals who possess skills of blindness for management positions.

Sincerely,
Larry Posont
President
 National Federation of the Blind of Michigan
