The AFL-CIO has put out a Women In Manufacturing Survey to their members who are women in manufacturing facilities.  This is an initiative supported by Vice President Estrada through the Departments work with the AFL-CIO.

We are asking that you, please help us to get out the word by sharing the information with all women within your Local Union.

The description of the purpose of the survey is below.

Please help us lift up the voices and experiences of women working in manufacturing by completing this survey on what helps and hinders women’s retention and advancement in manufacturing.  The survey was developed by the Institute for Women’s Policy Research in collaboration with the AFL-CIO.

How Long?: The survey should take no more than 20 minutes to complete.  All responses will be anonymous and treated in the strictest confidence.  As a participant you can enter a drawing for a $50 gift card (100 to be won).

Survey Focus: The survey is focused on the United States.

Survey Goal: The goal of the survey, which is part of the Improving Women’s Retention and Advancement in Construction and Manufacturing project, is to provide much needed evidence to employers, unions, policy-makers, and other stakeholders on what it is like as a woman to work in manufacturing, and on what needs to change.  Contact Ariane Hegewisch of the Institute for Women’s Policy Research with any questions [email protected].
