@see_the_sus yep…$3-$4 an hour! Its do wrong…

@cjcrew this is almost universal. If they hire folks with challenges they do so at a much, much, lower rate.

This article shows the attitude they have and it sucks…

@NorCalCherylLyn bite disgusting and should be illegal. My nephew is slow, he suffered brain damage as a baby from a high fever. He works and I’ve been told he is a good worker. His labor is worth as much as mine.

@cjcrew you’re totally right. If he works he deserves as much pay as anyone.

@NorCalCherylLyn He’s a better worker than several of the lazy assholes I work with. I’ve run into too many regularly abled people who were happy to just disappear or screw around and let everyone else do their work for them. I worked with one guy who disappeared 20 minutes after our shift started and didn’t reappear until 5 minutes before we went home. We thought he was going home until the supervisor called his house and his wife had no clue where he was. Never did find out where he went.

@cjcrew my Cousin is like that. Very responsible and dedicated. Much more than many people I know that don’t have his challenges.

@NorCalCherylLyn That’s a frustrating thing to read. That woman is a cheap asshole who wants something for nothing, even if it hurts the very people she claims to be helping. People like her piss me off and are why I hate people.

@cjcrew she’s continuing the standard Goodwill policy. I stopped buying there years ago. I found out the CEO was making more than 250k and the workers got $2.50hr.

There thinking on it that boycotting them hurts the workers more but I just can’t support the people getting rich on the backs of the disabled workers.

@NorCalCherylLyn I honestly had no reason to go there. We had several second hand stores in Lansing that I used to go to and I’ve heard bad things about Goodwill as well as several other charities.

It bugged me that employers would force you to give a donation to United Way every year when the local Chapter’s president had been busted stealing money so she could buy her horse ranch. There are good places to give your money but most big ones aren’t them.

@cjcrew totally agree. I give to small charities and shy away from big ones.

@NorCalCherylLyn I used to listen to Randi Rhodes when I worked second shift. She always said boycotts don’t work. I boycott anyway, but it’s for me, I know it doesn’t effect them. I am stubborn and I can hold a grudge. But yeah, it makes sense that the workers would be the ones who get hurt, most help is geared toward big business because they “create jobs”.

@cjcrew lol…are we related? U a fellow Taurean? 😄

I’m the same way. When I abandon a company I do it because I don’t want to give them my money. I know that it doesn’t mean anything to them but it does to me.

@NorCalCherylLyn I’m a hard headed Aquarian waiting to dump cold buckets of water on those corporations that piss me off.

@cjcrew I’ve got you’re back…they’ll have a hard time moving me. 🐂♉️

@NorCalCherylLyn We’ll show them!
