"The Future of Employment: Phasing Out Section 14(c) and Advancing Disability Rights"

In this episode, we explore the evolving landscape of employment for individuals with disabilities as we discuss the proposed phaseout of Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Initially designed to provide employment opportunities for those unable to find work, this provision now faces scrutiny in light of significant legal advancements, including the Americans with Disabilities Act. Join us as we hear from experts, including representatives from the National Council on Disability, about the implications of this change, the successes of states that have already transitioned away from subminimum wage, and the future of competitive integrated employment for people with disabilities.
