The month of March marks Women’s History Month and provides us with an opportunity to highlight the significant contributions women have made to the labor movement. Throughout this month, the UFCW will pay tribute to women who defied convention and dedicated their lives to achieving equal rights for all workers in the workplace and in society. We will also highlight how labor unions have benefited women in terms of pay and equity in the workplace and pay tribute to women who continue to fight for the right to stand together for equal pay for equal work, fair scheduling, affordable and high-quality child care, and paid maternity and sick leave.
If your local has a member activist you would like to profile during Women’s History Month, please contact Julie Anderson at janderson@ufcw.org.
