Disabled Workers deserve Equal Pay

The Issue

For the past 80 years there has been an exemption to the Fair Labor Standards Act that allows disabled workers to be paid $1 an hour. This gross discrimination in the workplace can no longer be tolerated. This petition calls upon not only our congressmen and women, but also our president. We urge that you help right this indecent wrong that has been committed against people with disabilities for far too long.
