Episode 7: 9 to 5 (PART TWO)

In Part Two of this 9 to 5 series (link in our bio), we meet the two co-founders of the 9 to 5 movement, Ellen Cassedy and Karen Nussbaum and learn about what motivated them to launch this movement and how they went about doing it.

This series of episodes was inspired by the film 9 to 5, a 1980s comedy starring Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton. What most people don’t know is that the movie was made deliberately to raise awareness around women’s issues in the workplace and in direct relationship to a movement, an organization, and, ultimately, a labor union called 9 to 5.
