QUEENS AGAINST GOODWILL : Queens fighting for Disability Rights

DID YOU KNOW: According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Medicaid-financed pre-vocational services to sheltered workshops are, “not an end point, but a time limited (although no specific limit is given) service for the purpose of helping someone obtain competitive employment.”

This is completely legal through section 14 (c ) of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Currently, there are approximately 420,000 people with disabilities in the 14 ( c) program.

Bee Tish is a fabulous queen from Syracuse, NY . Companies like Goodwill, who often function as a “sheltered workshop” (definition: a supervised workplace for physically or cognitively disabled adults) believe they are “helping” people with disabilities by giving them something to do.

Thank you TeamLarryEntertainment, for showing support against sub-minimum wages and Bee Tish for being a Queen Against Goodwill!
