Women’s Leadership Committee
The findings from our recently completed research on gender discrimination together with the growing number of women seeking job training to attain employment in this industry and the growing number of female workers seeking to start campaigns against their employers for gender discrimination has reminded us of the need to build long-lasting power for female restaurant workers, and to do so in a way that ‘surrounds’ the issues they face, employing a comprehensive strategy that follows our organizational strategy. Therefore, ROC-NY Women’s Committee is working to build the leadership of their fellow female restaurant workers and raise awareness around the gender discrimination plaguing this industry. Through a combination of organizing and advocacy, workforce and leadership development, and outreach and awareness to combat the pervasive issues that female workers face, the Women’s Leadership Committee is both providing an outlet for the voices of those of the neglected and making these voices heard to the public.
