WOMEN IN THE TRADES.

Currently in our economy, unemployment and discrimination are clumped together into our deepest impoverished demographics. Local government’s neglect of health-care and education appropriations fail our working class families and our youth. Programs cannot promote a better morale in our society if there are none. Some people, namely tradeswomen, have sought feverishly to maintain a balance between democratic invention and our community’s civil and moral right.

Tradeswomen established an incorporate network to maintain a racial and gender balance in peoples ‘ lives. They are a helping hand to those who don’t see the ‘big picture.’ My goal has always been to maintain an awareness of my gender and it’s place in our society.

I wish to share as other tradeswomen , what to do when crisis hits our country and how to embrace each other collectively and with ingenuity.

Review... Women in Unions.

S.C.T.N has developed a strategy for

women in non-traditional jobs. The group

also has several working committees;

industry, outreach and recruitment,

dismantling racism, and grant writing.

Their goal is to “help women

attain economic independence" by increasing

the number and diversity of women entering

non-traditional and blue collar occupations

and improving retention in these jobs.

Their services aim to help women to gain

equal pay with men who earn a higher wage.

Primarily, a union protecsts a workers

pay from a company's influences of a

drastically changing economy. Unions

originated in the early 17 and 18th

centuries for poor Americans, immigrants,

soldiers, servants and slaves. This demography

brought about our nations labor force by

recruiting during the economic recessed

times of the american and civil wars.

The first unions aimed to endenture men

into positions of civil duty and service.

This work was offered primarily at a low wage

and increased very, very slowly over the

years. The early men who were recruited into

these unioned labor forces later developed their

talents into endentured servants, labourers, masters

and workmen.
