In advance of the White House Summit on Working Families, the labor movement and worker groups are spending this week highlighting the stories of real working families and the challenges they face.
Today well take a look at working women and moms in the workplace with the story from Benet Holmes. Benet is a 25-year-old single mother who works at Walmart in Chicago and struggles to survive on low wages. In February she suffered a miscarriage while at work, after a manager denied her request for job duties that were less physically demanding. Following her miscarriage, she asked for a leave of absence to recover and was denied that request as well. Read how Benet realized she needed a voice on the job and took action with the OUR Walmart campaign.
