What We Do

For 26 years, Women on the Job has been “Working for Working Women’s Rights” and has dedicated its’ advocacy energy towards achieving equal employment opportunity for Long Island working women.  With the commitment and creativity of co-founders Lillian McCormick and Charlotte Shapiro, this premier not-for-profit organization has been a forceful voice for change- opening doors for the advancement and equality of women in the workplace.  We pressure agencies and legislators to enforce laws for equal pay, equal opportunity and bias-free working conditions.  Women on the Job offers Long Island women the resources, references and support from our Task Force coalition to help them solve workplace problems and find new paths to progress. From construction sites, corporate boardrooms and classrooms to clerical offices, hospitals and college campuses, our mission at Women on the Job is to provide Long Island women with the resources and guidance to assist with workplace problems and paths to progress. 

Our History

Women on the Job has donated historical records pertaining to its’ mission and work to The Tamiment Library and Robert F. Wagner Labor Archives.  At this time, the records remain unprocessed but will be available for review at a future date.  For more information about The Tamiment Library and Robert F. Wagner Labor Archives, please visit their website. Records will be available through the Finding Aids link on the library’s home page.

Our Board

Continued strategic planning by the Women on the Job Board of Directors has secured our agenda and fundraising strategies towards assuring long-term growth.  In 2005, our Board met with groups of business women under the age of 40 to learn more about their concerns in the workplace.  These meetings indicated that Women on the Job’s mission is on target and reaffirmed our commitment to our core concerns of pay equity, increasing the number of women on corporate boards and women’s workplace rights.
