AFL-CIO REVAMP PLANS: ROOFERS PROTEST ELIMINATION; CLUW PUSHES REPRESENTATION By Mark Gruenberg, PAI, ILCA
CLUW President Susan Phillips, who held high posts in the majority-female United Food and Commercial Workers, told Sweeney almost half the federation’s 13.3 million members are women. And women are more pro-union and more likely to unionize than men. But few AFL-CIO leaders, nationally or locally, are female.
"Surveys reveal women's support for unions diminished because of the dearth of high-ranking and visible women in the labor movement," she warned. "Women seek to join a movement that will reflect their needs and aspirations, and seeing women in decision-making positions is a key indicator that unions welcome women and understand their needs, concerns, and priorities."------------------------------------------- posted 1:29 PM :: reference link ::
