YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFor decades, the US government has allowed employers to pay some workers with disabilities a subminimum wage.
On this episode of the Big Take podcast, we discuss the debate over the 14(c) program and its future under President Trump.
For decades, workers, disability advocates and employers have debated a program called 14(c), a section of employment law that lets companies pay certain employees with disabilities less than the federal minimum wage.

On today’s Big Take podcast, Bloomberg senior reporter Josh Eidelson joins host Sarah Holder to dig into the debate over subminimum wage and the future of the program under President Trump.
