This is long overdue! Applause for the Governor. A win for employees trying to support themselves. Hope it spreads nationwide. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@NorCalCherylLyn Gee, let’s just call them half a human and get it over with. How dare they pay disabled workers less than non disabled workers! What dictator wannabe came up with that glorious solution?
@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.
@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.
@cjcrew you’re totally right. If he works he deserves as much pay as anyone.
