| Introduction | 9to5’s work in Milwaukee has been instrumental in policy changes on issues affecting low-wage women for over two decades. We are a grassroots membership organization made up of low-income women, women transitioning from welfare to work, and women who have experienced discrimination or harassment on the job. |
| Interests | 9to5 is committed to: Winning family-friendly policies to help working people balance responsibilities at home and on the job; Making nonstandard jobs voluntary and equitable so that those who work part-time or as temps receive fair pay and benefits; Eliminating workplace discrimination through educating about legal rights on the job, monitoring enforcement agencies, and expanding anti-discrimination laws; Opposing punitive welfare policies and backing those that allow women to be self sufficient while supporting their families. |
