Willmar 8 Bank Strike The story of eight women who walked out of Citizens National Bank in Willmar, Minnesota in 1977 to fight for equal pay and workplace dignity.

Dec 1977: 8 women walked out of a Willmar bank after being told men "need to get paid more to pay for dates."

Their 22-month strike through two harsh winters didn't win back pay—but it helped change Minnesota's pay equity laws forever.
