• W1120775557 abstract "Introduction The image of wife standing behind her husband and his job was a prominent theme in trade union materials in 1940s through to 1960s. Archival materials suggest that many men welcomed women's help during strikes, but held implicit assumption that they would resume their posts in kitchen and laundry rooms when strike was over. A 'good union girl' worked to support her family, used makeup moderately, kept her stocking seams straight, and went out on picket line with her man because having girls come on line.. .puts more pep in gas (Strom, 1983, p. 371). In fullness of time, it has become clear that not all women conformed to that image. One such group of women--a Ladies' Auxiliary of a Canadian mining union in 1940s and 1950s--is subject of this paper. The case study brings contemporary feminist methodological tools to questions, what work did Ladies Auxiliary of Canadian mining unions do and how was this work coordinated? Labour histories of 1970s and 1980s explored relationship women as workers have to trade unions and highlighted women's distinctive culture and organizational forms and tactics, but little attention has been given to women's non-waged involvement in trade unions (Sangster, 2000). The study contributes to a small body of feminist labour history by examining non-waged women's work associated with formation and development of Canadian trade union movement. We first provide a summation of relevant literature, a description of study's methodology, and a background to particular auxiliary before moving to thematically organized findings and then offering conclusions. Women's Unpaid Work in Trade Union Movement: Contested Terrain Feminist scholars have long since located 'women's' unpaid work within broad frame of reproductive labour and social construction of care (Hochschild, 1983; Graham, 1983). Early feminist writers of late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries elevated women's work by pointing to its necessity for improvement of human race through developments in hygiene, education, and nutrition and by advocating for appropriate training and compensation for those performing specialized care functions (Gilman, 1898). More recent feminist scholarship has located women's work within an 'ethic of care' framework (Noddings, 2010, 2003; Nortvedt & Helge, 2010; Tronto, 1993; Gilligan, 1982). The unpaid work of women in auxiliaries associated with men's trade unions is rarely considered in this body of literature. Yet, ladies auxiliaries (LAs) existed since end of nineteenth century in many of skilled trade unions in industries where few women were employed, including International Association of Machinists, Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engineers, Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters' Women's Economic Council, Carpenters, Milk Drivers, Mail Carriers, and Motion Picture Operators (Chateauvert, 1998; Levine, 1991). Most of these Auxiliaries were comprised of wives, daughters, mothers, sisters, and widows of male union members. The literature on auxiliaries is limited. As Levine (1991) notes, they are not mentioned in most union histories and few that do dismiss them in a sentence or two. Within limited literature, nature of auxiliary work and their political nature are debated. Some authors, such as Strom (1983) and Lasky (1984) suggest that Auxiliary women were constrained by conventional roles and traditional gender arrangements, and that the auxiliary model was a poor vehicle for feminist critique (Merithew, 2006, p. 64). Chateauvert (1998) in her work on sleeping car porters Auxiliary, argues opposite. In her examination of Women's Auxiliary of Progressive Miners in United States in early 1930s, Merithew (2006) found that Auxiliary openly confronted male leaders with newer forms of protest that drew on an enlarged understanding of women's position in movement. …" @default.
