Modern Day Slavery

I read this on NBC News Friday, and watched in on Rock Center that night and I have never been so furious. This antiquated loophole in the Fair Labor Standard Acts which was written in 1938 allows Goodwill, along with other companies to receive an "exemption" certificate to pay people that are disabled lower then federal min. wage based on time studies. This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard! There are no excuse to be morally and ethically wrong. Goodwill CEO in Portland OR. made over $500,000 last year. Goodwill is a billion dollar company that gets grants from the Federal Government to "help" disabled workers. This a company that has worked their whole marketing campaign on hiring disabled citizens. I have been lied too, we have all been lied too. No one regardless of race, sex, color or religion, disable status never should be regarded as a second class citizen. Every one please pass this on. One person in Pennsylvania was paid .68 cents hour with Cerebral Palsy.This effects me and it effects all of us.

Disabled workers paid just pennies an hour – and it's legal
