A Woman's Place Is in the Cab:

This article examines the situation of women train operators in the New York City Transit Authority. Many of the problems women faced when they first became train operators in the 1970s--sexual harassment and resentment, unsafe working conditions, inadequate facilities, lack of benefits important to women--remain unresolved today. The article focuses on the women who choose this job, why they do so, the problems they face, and why women stay. It also looks at the role of the workers' union in meeting the needs of its women members and suggests implications for human services workers.
