#FixWia: Call Your Senators Tomorrow


From Rose Sloan:



Federationists:



For those of you who prefer to call your Senators (rather than send an 
email or fax) here is a sample message you can leave.



#####



Hi! My name is Rose Sloan, and I am a constituent of Senator Durbin.  I 
am calling to express my objection to language in S. 1356, the 
Workforce Investment Act.  Please ask the Senator to offer an amendment 
that will strike Section 511 of Title V., which endorses segregated 
subminimum wage training and employment, and to remove the language 
that diminishes the quality of rehabilitation services by transferring 
the Rehabilitation Services Administration from the Department of 
Education to the Department of Labor. Thank you!



#####



Some of you may have the chance to talk to staffers in your senators’ 
offices in more depth.  To learn more information about fixing WIA, 
please review our blog post at https://nfb.org/blog/vonb-blog/fix-wia.



Thanks for all of your work. Let’s #FixWIA!
