How can the labor movement do more to include women’s perspectives and issues in our work? How can we do better on strengthening community partnerships and lifting women’s voices on policy issues? We want your ideas.  

The AFL-CIO and MomsRising.org invite you to a tweetchat on Wednesday, July 17, at 2 p.m. EDT to discuss the well-being of and most pressing issues facing women and moms in the workplace. Join us to share your comments, resources or questions by adding the hashtag #WellnessWed to your tweets at that time.

Women are bringing home the bacon, says AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Elizabeth Shuler, and what are they most concerned about this election? Jobs and the economy.

Shuler addressed more than 100 women of all ages at a Women Vote 2012 kick-off luncheon today at the AFL-CIO headquarters. 

Now, more than ever, women need to make sure their voices are heard about the kind of future they envision for themselves and their families.
