Workforce, Wage Gap, and Unions
Women are best served by a dynamic economy that creates a wide-variety of job opportunities.

IWF also considers how unions can impede progress, by making companies less competitive, creating one-size-fits-all compensation regimes, and by increasing government's control of our economy.
