9to5

Milwaukee, WI, US • 20 - 49 Employees
Non-Profit

In 1973, a group of female office workers, fed up with earning less than men, being harassed by male co-workers and passed over by management, mobilized to change the way they were treated and paid. The group organized around grievances; terms that didn't yet exist-- sexual harassment, pay equity and family leave. These women decided enough was enough. They felt feisty, empowered…, and fed up. They decided to fight for fair pay and equal treatment. They started 9to5. Today 9to5 is one of the largest, most respected national membership organizations of working women in the U.S. dedicated to putting working women's issues on the public agenda. 9to5 will celebrate its 40thanniversary this year. We've made huge, bold strides since Jane Fonda's movie "9to5," inspired by our group, premiered. Over the past 40 years, 9to5 has celebrated hard-won victories like the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, the 1991 improvements in the Civil Rights Act, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, and greater investments in child care and health care for working families.By working together we've made things a lot better for women and working families.
