Women have become force for change in organized labor BY CAROL KLEIMAN, Chicago Tribune
'There are plenty of men left, but women are easier to organize,' she said. 'And unions, which have brought more women into leadership and staff positions, know women are more likely to organize than men because they're less likely to believe it when the boss says, `Trust me, you'll make it to the top.' And women have learned from the civil-rights and women's movements that the only way you make gains is through collective action.'
And there are some pragmatic reasons, too, Bronfenbrenner points out: 'Women tend to be greater risk takers because in part they have less job security than men and so, in many ways, have less to lose by fighting for their rights - and much to gain.'------------------------------------------- posted 7:23 AM :: reference link ::
