The rights of the disabled are important to me. As a disabled educated woman I try to be aware of my rights in the work place. I didn't start my life disabled .After 12 years working in Nursing my back deteriorated from repeated injuries and I required surgery. After months of recuperation, therapy and work hardening, I was not able to return to nursing.
I attended college for four years. I did work after college but the commuting an hour each way further deteriorated my back. Even without using my degrees to get hired I made almost double the minimum wage.
It sickens me a non profit company like Goodwill takes advantage of people with intellectual disabilities such as down syndrome, cerebral Palsey or individuals who are visually impaired. Why isn't the ACLU helping them? Isn't Goodwill an EOE (equal opportunity employer? What about the ADA (American's Disabilities ACT.?
If the CEO of a non profit corporation is making over 500k and paying a disabled employee so little there's a problem.
