HCONRES 80 United States House · 119th Congress

Recognizing the duty of Congress to meet the needs of working women.

This concurrent resolution formally recognizes Congress's duty to protect the rights and economic security of working women, who make up nearly half of the U.S. workforce. The document highlights concerns about wage gaps, workplace discrimination, and recent policy changes that have weakened protections for women, particularly women of color. It calls for Congress to support equal pay, workplace safety, access to healthcare, paid leave, and the right to unionize, while also condemning actions that undermine civil rights enforcement and workplace protections. The resolution serves as a statement of principle rather than a law that creates new legal requirements.
