All across the nation, throughout the month of March, there will be numerous celebrations and tributes to mark the accomplishments of women in America. At Local 237, we don’t have to look very far for fearless women, with an extraordinary strength of character who exemplify “never take no for an answer”.
Throughout the pandemic and beyond, so many of our women members were an integral part of our union’s overall efforts to keep the City functioning.
For us, it is not difficult to identify women who should be honored during Women’s History Month. We are especially blessed to have among our own members, and our friends, women who care about others and want everyone else to care too. That’s who they are. That’s their legacy. And we take pride in knowing them.
Throughout the month of March, we will be showcasing current women members doing their job, so that all New Yorkers can do theirs.
