Ø Subjects Ø Index |
The papers of the Women's Bureau of the UAW War Policy Division were placed in the Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs in March of 1974 by the UAW.
The Women's Bureau program under the direction of Mildred Jeffrey developed recommended policy and programs affecting women union members, with special consideration given to seniority, safety standards, maternity leave practices and other problems relating to the employment of women. The Bureau also developed techniques for involving women in general union activities and in developing their sense of union citizenship. Out-of-plant problems, such as child care, shopping, transportation, etc., were handled through special union counseling programs.
