Women-Friendly Workplace Campaign Consumer's Pledge

Online Signup Form

Printable form also available

I am tired of my consumer dollars subsidizing discrimination. I hereby pledge to fight all forms of discrimination by spending my money at businesses that sign the Women-Friendly Workplace pledge. I will support businesses that:

  • Treat all customers/clients equally and with respect, without regard to their sex, race, sexual orientation, age, marital or family status, pregnancy, parenthood, disability or size.
  • Provide a workplace free of discrimination based on sex, race, sexual orientation, age, marital or family status, pregnancy, parenthood, disability or size.
  • Support all employees in their efforts to balance work and family responsibilities. In this regard, companies not only meet the minimum requirements of the law but also strive toward policies that are genuinely family-friendly. (Such policies might include paid sick leave, flex-time, job sharing, child care and/or elder care benefits, family and medical leave for companies not legally obligated to provide it.)
  • Do not tolerate sexual or racial harassment, but do educate all employees, including management, with regard to anit-harassment policies and rigorously enforce them.
  • Ensure that any allegation of sexual or racial harassment, sexual assault or sex or race discrimination are promptly and thoroughly investigated, and ensure that employees making such allegations are protected from retaliation and are not required to seek redress from a workers' compensation board or forced to submit to arbitration in lieu of pursuing legal or statutory remedies.
  • Have an affirmative action program to ensure that women and people of color are included in the recruitment, hiring and promotion of employees.
  • Do not tolerate sexist, racist, sexually-explicit or pornographic images in the workplace or at any company-sponsored events.
  • Respect the laws that recognize the right of their employees to organize and establish an independent voice.
  • Provide all employee benefits without discrimination based on sex. Any health benefits offered cover the full range of reproductive health services -- including abortion.
  • Do not discriminate on the basis of marital status or sexual orientation. Benefits provided to spouses of employees are also extended to domestic partners -- including same-sex couples.
