Subject: [NFBAffiliatePresidents] WIA-FLSA Petition to Eliminate 
SubminimumWages


> My Federation Brothers and Sisters:
>
> I wanted to inform you that our advocacy effort to eliminate subminimum 
> wages for people with disabilities continues to make an impact.  We have 
> recently been informed that the hearing to vote on the reauthorization of 
> the Workforce Investment Act has been postponed until August 3.  This 
> gives us additional time to work toward the removal of Section 511 from 
> the WIA reauthorization before the vote.
>
> During our 2011 national convention, we received over 2,000 signatures on 
> our Petition to Abolish Subminimum Wage Employment.  Many of you were 
> asking for copies of the petition so that you can get more signatures from 
> members and friends who were unable to attend the convention.
>
> I have attached the WIA-FLSA Petition as a MS-Word formatted document.  It 
> is a two page document with a description of the issue and places for 
> signatures on the first page, and a second page of signature lines.
>
> Please print the first page, along with as many of the second page you 
> feel you can fill with signatures.  There is no need for you to sign 
> again, if you already signed the petition at our convention.
>
> Please get as many signatures as possible, and get them to me by August 1. 
> Mail your signed petitions to the address below.
