Hi Everyone! <br>
<br>
#FixWIA Wednesday is here! It’s time to email, fax, or call your
Senators. It’s also time to spread the word to everyone you know: WIA
needs to be fixed. One way to do this is through social media. <br>
<br>
You can follow NFB_Voice on Twitter to receive tweets from our national
office or become a friend of the NFB on Facebook
(<a href="https://www.facebook.com/NationalFederationoftheBlind">
https://www.facebook.com/NationalFederationoftheBlind</a>) to read our
Facebook posts. Retweet and share posts that resonate with you. <br>
<br>
The following are sample messages you can use, and I also encourage you
to create your own: <br>
<br>
<br>
We worked hard to ensure that subminimum wage employment was not a
successful VR case closure. Let’s keep it that way. #FixWIA<br>
<br>
Quality education and rehabilitation lead to competitive integrated
employment. Keep RSA in the Dept. of Education. #FixWIA<br>
<br>
Sec. 511 puts subminimum wages of Sec 14(c) of the FLSA into the
#rehabact. #FixWIA focus on competitive integrated employment.<br>
<br>
Shaking up #rehabact without data and research could adversely affect
millions of PWDs. #FixWIA<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you all for your hard work. If we each do our part, WIA will be
fixed. <br>
