Think Disabled Employees Should be Paid AT LEAST Minimum Wage?

The Federal Department of Labor is seeking by Proposed Rulemaking to eliminate certificates that had allowed employers to pay productivity-based subminimum wages to workers with disabilities without violating the Fair Labor Standards Act. 


Think it's a good idea?

Regardless, think Trump thinks it's a good idea? 


Interesting time to make such a change given that Trump likes that cheap labor regardless that the purpose of the curtailments was altruistic in creating opportunities for employment for the disabled.
