We want to know about the unique issues that women face in the workplace. If you're a working woman, share your experience by taking Working America's Ask a Working Woman survey. Or send the survey to a working woman you know and make sure her voice is heard

What do you do if you need to take time off work to care for a sick child or parent?

Does having children hurt your career?

Unequal pay. Maternity leave. Spiraling health care costs. Family and children plus a full-time career.

Working people face these issues every day. But all too often, women especially don’t have the resources or support to help meet these challenges.

That's why we have joined Working America, the community affiliate of the AFL-CIO, to conduct a nationwide survey of what it's like to be a working woman. If you’re a working woman, that means YOU.

Your opinion matters! Please take a moment to complete the Ask a Working Woman survey and share your thoughts and experiences.

The results of this survey have never been more important. Women’s rights and labor organizations will use the results to advocate for women across the country over the next two years. Your voice matters. We want to hear from you (or the women in your life), VELMA.

So, make sure your answers are counted. And if you’re not a working woman, forward this e-mail to your sister, your mother, your co-workers and your friends to make sure their voices are heard.

Thanks for helping lead the way for women in the workplace. Together, we can make lasting change.

In support of working women everywhere,

Rosalyn Pelles

Director, AFL-CIO, Civil, Human and Women's Rights Department
