Attitude of union workers to women in industry / prepared by: Renée Geoffroy and Paule Sainte-Marie. : Z1-1967/1-1-9E-PDF

"The history of the Province of Quebec preserves no record of any concerted effort on the part of labour union organizations to advance the occupational status of women. Nevertheless, those who have closely followed developments in the world of labour realize that the problems peculiar to female employment have never ceased to preoccupy, to a greater or lesser extent, the unions concerned, and that the latter were the first to take up the cause and to promote the interests of the working woman. Generally speaking, women have reaped the advantages of better working conditions whenever they had unions exerting themselves in their behalf. Conversely, it is common knowledge that the worst exploitation of female workers occurs, even today, in precisely those sectors of the labour market that are not unionized"--Introduction, page 1.
