[Nfbnet-members-list] NFB Seeking Persons Who Have Worked in Sheltered Sub-Minimum Wage Environments in the Past

[Danielsen, Chris]

Fellow Federationists:

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 
<mailto:cdanielsen at nfb.org>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
National Federation of the Blind
