I really really like to see 14(c) workers. I was a tech in a HP rework facility in the 90s, Pride Industries contracted a lot of very low level labor with 14(c) employees. Most were fairly non-communicative, others were very high functioning. One twenty something kid we had seemed fully functional, yet couldn't add single digit numbers in his head, I mean numbers less than 5. From all outward appearances, personality, sociability, you'd think he's 100% ... For every three or so 14c employees there was a manager to assist the employees.

I then spent 21 years at an Intel plant, where 14c employees performed the janitorial work. These were mostly higher functioning folk, the highest functioning during the day. I worked all shifts and interacted with many across the years. I was glad to see them having something.
