[Nfbnet-members-list] United Blind Industrial workers of America

[Thomas Stivers]

My fellow federationists,
It is my honor to have been elected as the chairman of the steering 
committee for the newly reconstituted United Blind Industrial workers 
of America. We will work together to eliminate all subminimum wage 
payments on the basis of disability, ensure equal opportunities for 
advancement for all blind workers, provide adequate training to blind 
workers in sheltered environments who are seeking mainstream 
employment, and defend the rights of blind workers who are abused by 
those who claim to be their protectors.
As of now, the UBIWA is in its earliest stages, and we are looking 
for members to give of their time, talent, and eventually treasure to 
make this developing division of the federation one of our strongest. 
Join the mailing list by sending a blank message to 
<mailto:workers-subscribe at ubiwa.org>workers-subscribe at ubiwa.org or 
visit our website at <http://www.ubiwa.org>http://www.ubiwa.org to 
keep up with developments as they occur.
On behalf of the committee I offer our thanks to the merchants 
division, the federation as a whole, Blind Industries and services of 
Maryland, and the lawyers division for their generous contributions 
which will make this organization possible.
Sincerely,
Thomas Stivers
