[Txabs] Fix WIA Wednesday

[Bre Brown]

Hi TABSters,

Below is an important message regarding the Workforce Investment Act.
Please help us, and use as many social media outlets as possible to
reach out to congress.

Thank you
Bre Brown

 Federationists:


Over the summer the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) S. 1356 was passed by
the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee.  We have been
told that this bill may be coming to the Senate floor for a vote soon, and
it is being pre-conferenced with members of the U.S. House of
Representatives.  There are aspects of this bill that we need the Senate to
fix before it becomes law.



We are designating this Wednesday, January 15, 2014 as #FixWIA Wednesday.
We are respectfully requesting that you call, email, fax, tweet, or
Facebook your Members of Congress expressing your feelings about WIA (S.
1356).  Please use the hash tag #FixWIA with all of your social media
messaging.



As the saying goes: "nothing about us, without us" –if we do not act now,
the discriminatory language in Section 511 of Title V., and the misguided
relocation of the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) will become
the law of the land.  Let your voices be heard. Contact your Members of
Congress.



Read the Fix WIA blog post at: https://nfb.org/blog/vonb-blog/fix-wia to
get more information about the issue, and get ready to #FixWIA on this
Wednesday, January 15, 2014.  Additional information will be sent soon.



Thank you,



Rose
