DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES:
The Women's Bureau is the single unit at the Federal government level exclusively concerned with serving and promoting the interests of working women. To ensure that the voices of working women are heard, and their priorities represented in the public policy arena, the Women's Bureau:
-Alerts women about their rights in the workplace.
-Proposes policies and legislation that benefit working women.
-Researches and analyzes information about women and work.
-Reports its findings to the President, Congress and the public.
NATIONAL RESOURCE AND INFORMATION CENTER PROVIDES:
-Work and Family Clearinghouse: The Work and Family Clearinghouse is a computerized database and resource center responsive to women's employment issues that impact work and family life, including child care and elder care. Among its popular resources are the Working Women Count Honor Roll Report and the Working Women Count Executive Summary, which provide information on companies with policies and programs that make work better for working women; a business mentoring initiative on child care, which matches companies with successful programs that assist employees with balancing the demands of work and family with those looking to implement similar programs; and numerous supporting publications and resources.
-Fair Pay Clearinghouse: The Fair Pay Clearinghouse was established to provide technical assistance to employees, employers, unions and other organizations on successful efforts to identify and eliminate sex and race discrimination in wage setting policies.
-Public Education Campaign: Began as a means of alerting America's working women about their rights in the workplace. With a widely-identified base of brochures, women can access reader-friendly information on laws regarding sexual harassment, pregnancy discrimination, the Family and Medical Leave Act, age discrimination, wage discrimination, and disability discrimination. Supporting information includes publications from the Women's Bureau and related agencies on the aforementioned topics.
