unfortunately, this is not rare. The only, ONLY nationwide unions with significant female leadership are the teachers unions. F'rinstance, the ILGWU -- always a majority female membership since its inception, has never had more than one or two women in national leadership; the CWA has always been a majority female and has never had more than one woman at a time at a national level until recent years -- now they have two (whoopty doo); and the teamsters have a numerically larger female membership than any union in the USA and we all know how many women THEY have in leadership positions. The boys take our dues money, but power?????
