Ask a Working Woman Survey 2008

The AFL-CIO and its community affiliate, Working America, want to know what it’s like to be a working woman in America this election year and the unique issues that women face in the workplace.

The survey results will be passed on to politicians, women’s rights and labor organizations who will use them to advocate for women across the country over the next two years.

If you’re a working woman, share your experience by taking the AFL-CIO and 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.
