The National Federation of the Blind is actively seeking individuals who
are currently competitively employed, but who have worked in sheltered
subminimum wage work environments in the past. If this has been
your experience, we would greatly appreciate it if you would answer the
following questions: <br>
<br>
•
What type of work did you perform for subminimum wages?<br>
<br>
•
What type of work do you do now?<br>
<br>
•
Is it competitive? <br>
<br>
•
Do you earn the federal minimum wage or more?<br>
<br>
•
What has changed in your life since you started earning the minimum wage
or more? <br>
<br>
•
What is your opinion of the Presidential Executive Order to raise the
minimum wage for federal service contract employees to $10.10 per
hour?<br>
<br>
•
Would you be willing to speak to a reporter about your experience?<br>
<br>
