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 and our country. Women’s History Month has been observed annually during the month of March in the United States since 1987 and encompasses International Women’s Day, which will be observed on March 8.
The theme for this year’s celebration of Women’s History Month is “Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.” Throughout the month, the UFCW will pay tribute to women who defied convention and fought for workers’ rights and highlight women who continue to fight for the right to stand together for a better life.
The UFCW Women’s Network and UFCW Women and Gender Committee are hosting a webinar titled “Gender Base Violence Is Not Part of the Job!” on March 8. You can register for the webinar here.
