ACTION ALERT
Tell Congress TODAY to Vote NO on the Raise the Wage Act

 

In January, the United States House and Senate introduced companion bills to raise the minimum wage over time.  The bills,H.R. 582 and S. 150, The Raise the Wage Act, include language that would eliminate Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act, which would eviscerate opportunities for people with significant disabilities who enjoy and want to keep their jobs.  Tomorrow, Wednesday, March 6, the House Education and Labor Committee intends to mark up H.R. 582 in preparation of sending it to the floor for a vote. YOUR VOICE IS NEEDED TO TELL CONGRESS THAT 14(C) IS A VITAL OPTION FOR MANY PEOPLE WHO DESERVE THE DIGNITY OF WORK.  Go to theACCSES Action Center RIGHT NOW and tell your Members of Congress to not let this Bill go to the House floor with this provision in it and, if it does, to VOTE NO.  When the Education and Labor Committee held a hearing recently on the Raise the Wage Act, only people who spoke against 14(c) were included on the Panel.  YOUR VOICE MUST BE HEARD.  ACT NOW.  Send an Action Alert.  Call your Members of Congress, particularly your Representatives, and tell them to remove this provision of the Bill or VOTE NO.  Tweet your Members.  Facebook your Members.  Get your message heard.


Kind regards,



Kate McSweeny
