[Nfbwv-talk] List of Organiuzations with Sub-Min(14C)Certificates

Tue Jul 17 15:45:48 UTC 2012

I'll bet there are some small local shops in the state which pay minimal 
amounts to their clients without an official "certificate" which authorizes 
them to do so. I use the word "clients" because at this level it may become 
difficult to distinguish between a "workshop" and what might better be 
described as an "adult day care facility."

I suspect that Good Will Industries holds a certificate at the national 
corporate level which allows any of their affiliated facilities to pay 
sub-minimum wages. Perhaps someone on the list from outside West Virginia 
can shed some more light on this.

Thank you, Sheri.  I haven't had the chance to check it out.  Good for West 
Virginia!!  We have a lot of Goodwill stores and I was afraid there might be 
some of them on the list.  I am surprised the Harrison County Sheltered 
Workshop isn't on that list.  They must have changed things as they were 
paying some of their very limited workers very low wages.

Federationists,

I just received this link on FB from Justin Salisbury of the CT affiliate
who had put it on the "Boycott Goodwill" page there; it is a link to the US
Department of Labor with a list of all organizations that carry a
Sub-Minimum Wage certificate.  Of course, this is not to say that all of the
organizations on the list actually pay a sub-min, but they do have it and
apparently sought it at some time for a reason.

As to which organizations in WV carry it; the list is quite lengthy and it
it sorted by state, so you will need to scroll down a ways.  If there is
Interest in keeping this data for ready reference I think I may be able to
export it to an Excel file tomorrow.

To see the list, go to:
