UnHappy Hour

March 31st, 4:00pm - 6:00pm

Each year, proponents of equal pay recognize the wage disparity between women and men by observing Equal Pay Day, recognized this year on April 2 to signify the point into the new year that a woman must work to make what a man-made the year before. “Unhappy Hour” is a collaborative social event with Iowa Women in Architecture & Polk County Women Attorneys to promote effective solutions for closing the wage gap.

Join iaWia and PCWA to discuss equal pay laws that protect employees from being paid less than counterparts due to sex/gender, what to look out for, how to advocate for yourself, and next steps if your employer doesn’t fix the problem. Then join us for some women-themed trivia and socializing!

This event will be located at Red Monk, a women-owned business, appetizers will be provided and drinks for women will be discounted 17%!
