For over a century, public and private institutions across the country relied on the unpaid, forced labor of their residents and patients in order to operate. This book describes the work they performed, in some cases for ten or more hours a day, seven days a week, and the lawsuits they brought in an effort to get paid. The impact of those lawsuits included accelerated de-institutionalization, but they fell short of obtaining equal and fair compensation for their plaintiffs. Instead, thousands of resident and patient-workers were replaced by non-disabled employees. Disability Servitude includes a detailed history of longstanding problems with the oversight of the sub-minimum wage provision in the Fair Labor Standards Act oversight. Beckwith shows how that history has resulted in the continued segregation and exploitation of over 400,000 workers with disabilities in sheltered workshops that legally pay far less than minimum wage.Crime—Sociological aspectsCriminologySocial justiceHuman rightsSociologyIndustrial sociologyCivil lawCrime and Societyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B3000Criminology and Criminal Justice, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B0000Social Justice, Equality and Human Rightshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33070Sociology, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22000Sociology of Workhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22240Civil Lawhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R1200XCrime—Sociological aspects.Criminology.Social justice.Human rights.Sociology.Industrial sociology.Civil law.Crime and Society.Criminology and Criminal Justice, general.Social Justice, Equality and Human Rights.Sociology, general.Sociology of Work.Civil Law.331.590973Beckwith Ruthie-Marieauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1060562BOOK9910253347403321Disability Servitude2514229UNINA
