[NFBP-Talk] Hawaii State Legislature Passes Subminimum Wage Bill

[Justin Salisbury]

Great news! The Hawaii State Legislature has now passed Senate Bill 793, Conference Draft 1, which repeals the old law that authorizes the payment of subminimum wages to workers with disabilities.  https://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/measure_indiv.aspx?billtype=SB&billnumber=793&year=2021

If we work together, we could have this in Pennsylvania, too. In Hawaii, we built a diverse coalition of activists who offered hundreds of pages of testimony. It’s a beautiful thing.

Stay healthy out there!

Aloha,

Justin

“Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot un-educate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore.”

Cesar Chavez
