- Description
- A comprehensive report prepared for the NUMSA National Gender Conference in 1998. It evaluates the union's progress on gender equality since 1993, specifically regarding maternity rights, childcare, and women's leadership. The document identifies major obstacles, including the rejection of a quota system, lack of gender sensitivity among male negotiators, and the absence of disaggregated data on female membership. It proposes a "Gender Analysis" framework and recommends integrating gender into shopsteward training and collective bargaining structures.
