Scotsdale, AZ (Azfamily) – The facade of the Scottsdale Training and Rehabilitation Center (Stars) can be unpretentious and even the work that is done inside, the renovation of old distance people may not be the rivets, but it is the people behind the work of old remote controls.
He gives people like Jacob Titters.
“Jacob does not read. Jacob doesn’t write, “Victor Titters said, Jacob’s father said.
Victor Titters eradicated his family to Ohio and specifically moved to Phoenix, as the state still offered a certificate known as 14C.
“We made a conscious decision to find a Jacob program, something that not only gave him a little money, which is great. The money is great, but more importantly, you can train him to be a good colleague, “said Victor Titters. “We had several counties employees to ask us not to come to their country because it was so difficult and there were so few programs that it would just be another person in the country who was on a waiting list.”
In 1938, the certificates of 14C were created through the Ministry of Labor of President Franklin Roosevelt.
It allows companies to pay people with disabilities to be subordinated, which means that the company can pay one of a few dollars per hour to more than the minimum wage.
The intention was to encourage employers to hire people with disabilities.
In December 2024, under the administration of then -President Joe Biden, the Ministry of Labor insisted that he end it.
JJ Rico, CEO of Arizona Arizona, is aligned with this measure.
“People with disabilities are obviously in the community and they are obviously working,” Rico said.
Rico is also the father of a son with disabilities.
He feels people with restrictions, despite his failures, deserve at least a minimum wage.
“I think we have to train these employers, that the disabled person comes first. You have to train the employer that a disabled person actually has a higher percentage of detention that there is a value for hiring someone with disability, “Rico said.
Claudia Chavez does not deny this. As the CEO of the stars over the last 13 years, she saw the benefits of the program and the importance of providing people with disabilities and purpose.
She agreed with Rico and said that despite the disabilities, people with restrictions deserve a fair salary, but it was not so cut and dry.
“I think part of the problem is the term submarine. This is not a submarine. This is a corrected salary. What we do is that we pay based on the ability at that time, and as our people improve, they progress over the minimum wage, “Chavez said.
Chavez is watching a progression within the program and people go to jobs outside the stars, and she applauded this, but said this was not the way for everyone.
“We have seen several individuals where they will have the opportunity and unfortunately, they are not able to succeed,” Chavez said.
Christopher Forrest came across this.
He has been stars for over 20 years. His mother himself stated that the proposal for a higher pay did not exceed the experience he receives through programs that work below 14c.
“Christopher has two -hour community work and he appreciates it, but that will never grow to more than two hours,” Sam said.
If the Ministry of Labor paved its way and ends 14B across the country, Chavez said the stars would lose $ 1.5 million in funding and will have to release nearly 40 participants.
Christopher and Jacob can be part of this loss. It is that their parents tell them that it is much more persistent than salary loss.
