Abstract

Four aspects of women's participation in trade- union life are examined: the attitude of unions today toward protective legislation for women; the effect which the recent federal legislation on "equality" has had on women's opportu nities in the shops and the unions' attitudes toward handling these new kinds of grievances and demands; the degree to which unions include special clauses covering women's wages and conditions in their contracts; and the participation of women in the political life of the unions. Few changes in attitudes or practice are found to characterize the unions in the 1960's as compared with those in the 1940's, when THE ANNALS last carried a report on this subject.
