Angela Abshire

The Women's Committee is
established for the purpose of promoting greater
understanding of the UAW's policies and
programs, and to further the objectives of our
union in the communities in which we live. This
committee conducts programs which are of special
interest to women. Emphasis should be put on the
fact that the Women's Committee is an integral
part of the local union. It is not an auxiliary.
It is not a social committee. It is a viable
committee that should motivate and educate the
local women to become more active in their
union. All programs should involve the women in
the local so that they may fully participate in
their union.
