05: Subminimum Wage with Serena Lowe and Sunny Cefaratti

Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act was intended to encourage companies to hire disabled veterans returning from war. But 14(c) has become a way for companies to pay employees with disabilities less than minimum wage. In this episode, Michael and Holly discuss subminimum wage with Serena Lowe and Sunny Cefaratti. Sunny gives her personal account of the eight years she spent in a sheltered workshop making less than minimum wage. Serena talks about what is being done to eliminate this practice.
