On January 12th ROC United along with allies Family Values @Work, National Organization for Women (NOW), New Hampshire Citizens’ Alliance, Granite State Progress and others are hosting a Women’s Economic Roundtable Discussion at the Puritan Backroom Restaurant in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Following comments from Presidential Candidate Campaigns about key issues facing women workers, real working women, restaurant owners, elected officials, experts and advocates will participate in a facilitated discussion that shines a light on the particular challenges facing millions of women working in the restaurant industry including: the exclusion of tipped workers from standard minimum wage laws, lack of access to paid family leave, earned sick time or affordable child-care.
Together, we’ll explore how we elevate these important gender equity and economic justice issues in the run-up to the 2016 Presidential election in the New Hampshire primary.
