In Twenty-Two Cents an Hour, Doug Crandell uncovers the harsh
reality of people with disabilities in the United States who are
forced to work in unethical conditions for subminimum wages with
little or no opportunity to advocate for themselves, while wealthy
CEOs grow even wealthier as a direct result. As recently as 2016,
the United States Congress enacted bipartisan legislation which
continued to allow workers with disabilities to legally be paid far
lower than the federal minimum wage. Drawing on ongoing federal
Department of Justice lawsuits, the horrifying story of Henry's
Turkey Farm in Iowa, and more, Crandell shows the history of the
policies that have led to these unjust outcomes, examines who
benefits from this legislation, and asks important questions about
the rise of a disability industrial complex. Exposing this
complex-which is rooted in profit, lobbying, and playing on the
emotions of workers' parents and families, as well as the
public-Crandell challenges readers to reexamine how we treat some
of our most vulnerable fellow citizens. Twenty-Two Cents an Hour
forces the reader to face the reality of this exploitation, and
builds the framework needed for reform.
