gender gap (was Re: Scabs?)

[Carrol Cox]

Years ago (I think 1980 but it could have been earlier) when the Normal
Illinois Fire Department went on strike, and they tossed them all into
jail, a little group of us here carried a statement of solidarity around
one of the local public housing developments. Almost everyone (mostly
latino and black women) signed, and some of the latino women offered to
circulate it themselves. The fire dept. consisted of all white males. And
they didn't even acknowledge the statements when we mailed them in.
