That companies are making money and still can't pay a living wage seems obscene, ...

Who does the work is a big part of why women earn less. You can look at it from two very different types of jobs -- child-care worker and parking-lot attendant. Guess who earns more? Parking-lot attendants. That work is valued more by our society than a child-care worker.

For people who do not have a union on the job, we provide a way for people to speak out on issues that affect working families.
