[Nfbmt] Fair Wages Article in The Hill

[Bruce&Joy Breslauer via Nfbmt]

Good news from Rose Sloan.  Feel free to pass it on to your Congressmen. Joy


 

Forwarded message:

I write to share with you a wonderfully written op-ed by Congressman Gregg
Harper.  He eloquently expresses his opinion that 14c is antiquated,
discriminatory and immoral.  He urges his fellow Members of Congress to
cosponsor the Fair Wages for Workers with Disabilities Act.    

 

Here is a link to the article:
http://thehill.com/opinion/op-ed/208132-subminimum-wage-must-end.  

 

I will be forwarding this to the Congressional offices, but feel free to
share with your Members of Congress as well!  

 

Yours in the fight for fair wages,

 

Rose

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
