> Workers With Disabilities Receive Back Wages
> Goodwill Industries of Southern Arizona Inc. paid $17,501 in back

> Goodwill failed to meet special minimum wage provisions under the Fair

> and baby dental wipes - the correct, commensurate piece-rate wages. In
> addition, employees paid by the hour for shredding paper were not paid
> the proper, prevailing wage rate.
