Disability Advocates:
 
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:  
 
•                    What type of work did you perform for subminimum wages?
 
•                    What type of work do you do now?
 
•                    Is it competitive? 
 
•                    Do you earn the federal minimum wage or more?
 
•                    What has changed in your life since you started earning the minimum wage or more? 
 
•                    What is your opinion of the Presidential Executive Order to raise the minimum wage for federal service contract employees to $10.10 per hour?
 
•                    Would you be willing to speak to a reporter about your experience?
 
Please send your responses, along with your contact information, to cdanielsen at nfb.org <mailto:cdanielsen at nfb.org>  as soon as possible. You may also respond by telephone by calling (410) 659-9314, extension 2330.
 
Thank you,
 
Chris Danielsen 
Director of Public Relations
