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
<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
