It's actually subminimum. Goodwill gets to decide what they pay their workers thanks to a carve out in the Fair Wage act. They've been caught paying as little as 22 cents.

Thats pretty fucked up. According to this article in 2013, there were 69 goodwill franchises that used it.

It does look like they are moving away from using it:

As of September 1, 2024, only 10 of the 149 local Goodwills in the United States are reported on DOL’s list. Many of those organizations are in the process of transitioning away from using the certificate. GII does not hold a certificate, and we support local Goodwill leaders as they collaborate with people with disabilities, local employers and other service providers to create an array of community-based employment and other opportunities.

That would be awesome, but they need to straight up tell their franchises the game is up.

Yeah, looks like we don't agree in most of the thread, but I'm 100% fucking with you there.
