Labor Movements and Unions Employment, Labor, and Gender Studies Gender Politics and Representation

Abstract

Women make up almost half of the British workforce. Yet only one-third of trade union 2 members are women, and within their unions women rarely reach the top; in 1994 there were four female general secretaries. Throughout the 1980s there were never more than five unions led by a woman, and in only a third were women represented on national executive bodies in proportion to their membership.
