Show full summary
- Families and working women: Would push for equal pay, pay transparency, paid family and medical leave, paid sick days, affordable childcare, and access to reproductive health. It cites about 75 million women in the workforce and notes more than 455,000 women exiting the workforce in 2025, with the steepest declines among mothers of young children.
- Federal enforcement and workers: Would call for restoring and strengthening agencies that enforce workplace civil rights, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. The resolution expresses concern that staffing and funding cuts have contributed to discrimination, harassment, wage theft, and retaliation.
- Employers, wages, and unions: Would reaffirm support for raising the federal minimum wage, ending tipped and subminimum wages, dismantling occupational segregation, and protecting the right to join unions and bargain collectively. It also urges collaboration across government, employers, and communities to improve job quality and opportunity.
