Subject: sub-minimum wages for disabled workers

Greetings all, 
As you all know, we have launched a campaign to eliminate the right of employers to pay disabled workers less than the Federal minimum wage.  We have gained much support in the disabled community and our efforts are gaining attention in the media and in the "not for profit establishment".  
Recently, we made public data which shows that Goodwill Industries pays below the Federal minimum wage.  This is by their own addmission.  Consequently, we have called for a boycott of Goodwill Industries.  
On Thursday, June 20, 2012 at 11:00 AM, Governor David Paterson will hold a press conference on the steps of City Hall where he will lend his support for the abolition of sub-minimum wages for disabled workers and also support our efforts surrounding Goodwill Industries.
We need to show support for him and for our position.  
I'm asking that as many of you as possible come to the steps of City Hall on Wednesday June 20 at 11:00 AM and as a body we can demonstrate the support for fair wages.  
I am told that the exact location is at 260 Broadway (just North of Warren Street and about a half block south of Chambers Street on the East side of Broadway).  We should try to be there between 10:30 and 10:45.  The City Hall station on the R train is perhaps the closest.
If you need any other information, please call the office at: 718-567-7821.  Also, please spread the word by either forwarding this or telling everyone you know.
Thanks in advance and let's have a great rally, Carl
