Thanks for your note to FEMINIST.COM.
For information on "women in
labor unions"--there is a great
entry under "labor unions" in
The Reader's Companion
To U.S. Women's History
edited by Wilma Mankiller, Gwendolyn
Mink, Marysa Navarro, Barbara
Smith, and Gloria Steinem (published
by Houghton Mifflin, 1998).
If you can get your hands on
this book--either through the
library, local bookstore or
the bookstore
at FEMINIST.COM--the
entry is historical and includes
information about what is happening
today. It also includes sub-categories
on specific unions such as:
- Amalgamated Clothing and
Textile Workers Union (ACTWU)
- American Federation of State,
County, and Municipal Employees
(AFSCME)
- Association of Flight Attendants
- Hotel and Restaurant Employees
International Union
- Industrial Workers of the
World
- International Ladies' Garment
Workers Union
- Knights of Labor
- Nine
to Five
- Service Employees International
Union
- United Auto Workers.
Most of these unions have headquarters
in Washington, DC--so you should
be able to track them down via
information in DC or even their
Web pages.
