Women Still Struggling To Reach The Top In Labor Movement - 05/17/06

By Doug Cunningham

While more and more women are getting active in organized labor, Michelle Kaminski of Michigan State University’s labor education program says there’s still a long way to go in getting women into more top leadership positions.

[Michelle Kaminski 1]: “We see lots of women activists at the grassroots level and in some sort of initial officer positions. We don't see quite as many women at the top as we would like to see in a variety of different labor unions. And we're working to change that, to help women develop the skills and experience they need to move into those positions."
