アメリカの障害者権利活動家（@kerryjean_）の投稿によると、
アメリカの連邦法（第14条c項）では今なお障害者への最低賃金未満の支払いが合法とされており（*すでに廃止した州もある）、事業者や関係団体などがその仕組みを維持しようとしているようです。
日本でも「訓練・工賃」という名目の下で、就労継続支援B型などで極端に低い、あるいは無賃金に近い形で障害者に労働を強いる構造が今なお残っています。
私はこの時代遅れの仕組みや不平等を温存する姿勢は、日米共通の理不尽な構造だと感じています。 #労働問題 #福祉 #貧困ビジネス

It’s Labor Day, so here’s your reminder that paying disabled workers a sub minimum wage is still legal in the United States. When passed in 1938, section 14c was a way to train and hire disabled workers. Now the system is long outdated and large companies are fighting to keep this inequality. Many states have phased out this certificate program but federally it is still legal. Did you know that this was a thing?? #disability #subminimumwage #wheelchairlife #wheelchairgirl #disabled

Is there a reason why nonprofit employees can't be paid by the state?
After working in the sector & seeing a HUGE decline in the amount of ppl who have ability/time to volunteer, as well as the subminimumwage part-time positions offered, seems like helping at risk pops should be better compensated

Bumping the action item in my overview of the proposed rule to abolish #subminimumwage for people with #disabilities #disability! This is going to be a long road but it's important to show support for real work for real pay
I do recommend that everyone comment in support of the rule - again, it won't pass this time, but it builds a record and shows policymakers that this is an important and popular issue. Comment here: www.regulations.gov/commenton/WH...
