Jillian Berman — Some Disabled Goodwill Workers Earn As Little As 22 Cents An Hour As Execs Earn Six Figures: Report

I don't think that this is necessarily a good criticism of Goodwill. Management improved vastly after the board decided to hire professional management and their operations reflect this. I have some knowledge of hiring the handicapped since a close friend was deeply committed to this and served for a time on the president's commission on hiring the handicapped. It's an area that is not focused on enough, and as a result a lot people are not only handicapped but socially disadvantaged because of it. Giving them something constructive to do brings great benefit to their lives. Many of these people are essentially unemployable, and it takes commitment and compassion to give them a helping hand. Goodwill should be commended for its efforts in this. Instead, there is a misdirected campaign on to discredit this effort.
