By Doug Cunningham

The AFL-CIO and Working America are launching "Ask A Working Woman”, an election-year survey letting women speak directly to politicians about working women’s issues. Women workers still earn on average just 77 cents for every dollar a man makes. The on-line survey asks working women how much time they have for themselves, what their work lives are like, and whether men they work with make more money for the same jobs. The "Ask A Working Woman" survey also asks women directly what they need on a range of issues from health care to pension benefits to flex-time at work. Survey results will out June 24th. If women want to take the survey, they can to www.askaworkingwoman.com.
