This concurrent resolution declares Congress's affirmative duty to ensure working women have equal opportunity within the workforce, recognizing it as essential for economic security, democratic participation, and shared prosperity. It asserts that the nation's workforce is stronger and more innovative when women can contribute and lead across all industries. Congress affirms its commitment to economic prosperity for all, specifically endorsing policies such as equal pay for equal work , pay transparency, and workplaces free from discrimination. The resolution also commits to ensuring workplace safety standards, comprehensive and accessible healthcare (including reproductive health care), affordable, high-quality childcare, and paid family and medical leave. It supports paid sick days, predictable scheduling, fair labor standards, and access to affordable housing, education, and workforce development opportunities. Furthermore, Congress affirms its commitment to ensuring all women can work with dignity, free from violence, harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and abuse, and recognizes the value of all work, including domestic and part-time work, deserving fair pay and protections. Congress condemns policies that weaken civil rights enforcement, undermine workplace protections, or reduce access to essential services for working women. It commits to restoring and strengthening federal agencies like the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, which combat workplace discrimination. The resolution also reaffirms commitment to raising wages, including the federal minimum wage, and expanding access to high-paying jobs across gender lines by dismantling occupational segregation. Finally, the resolution recognizes every worker's right to join a union and bargain collectively, calling upon federal, state, and local governments, employers, and labor organizations to collaborate. It declares that addressing the immediate needs of working women is fundamental to the overall prosperity of the United States.
