Information Center (NRIC) at the Women's Bureau of the U.S. Department of
Labor, was established in 1999 to provide constituents with the most direct
means of access to information on issues of concern to working women, their
families, and their employers. NRIC is accessible through two toll-free phone

offers updated information on Women's Bureau programs and publications as well
as contacts for additional and supporting resources. NRIC offers the following:

in the workplace. With a widely-identified base of brochures, women can access
reader-friendly information on laws regarding sexual harassment, pregnancy
discrimination, the Family and Medical Leave Act, age discrimination, wage
discrimination, and disability discrimination. Supporting information includes
publications from the Women's Bureau and related agencies on the aforementioned
topics.
