Wyden Disability Pay Bill

(Washington, D.C.) -- The Trump Administration wants to allow employers to pay disabled workers less than minimum wage. Oregon Senator Ron Wyden is working to prevent that from happening. Federal law allows the lower wage rate, but a Biden-era rule forced companies to pay all employees at least the federal minimum wage. The Trump Administration reversed the decision in July. Wyden has proposed legislation to outlaw subminimum wage for disabled workers and sent a letter to Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer to reverse the administration's plans.
