Introduction
In the recent generation, more women prefer to adjust their careers for their families, and many women are out in the fields working with the majority of men. Poverty is a natural disaster that cannot be avoided and should be listed as on economic disaster (Moosa-Mitha et al., 2018). However, some research and stories have brought it out that most of the working women, at most half of the women, say it would be better if they had to stay at home for their children. As brought out in the story of Mormon Woman’s Life in Southern Utah, the woman in the subject had to start working in the store to avoid being a burden to her husband and not from her wish to work. Therefore, it is evident that most women have no option but to work for their family’s betterment.
Main body
In most cases, women who have no option but to work for the living and lifestyle of their families, once they have the job, they might get interested in working rather than staying at home the moment they are treated with the same attention as the men and the norm of being satisfied but not equal is canceled (Ann, 2018). The habit of women getting into work due to situations and ending up loving it there is well expressed in the story of Agnes Nestor. According to this, it is evident that women might prefer working if they were just not treated less than the other gender, and power is given according to who deserves it and not who is a male or a female, as per Mary Elizabeth Lease’s speech.
Conclusion
In conclusion, women at work prefer labor union protection to enable them to have rights in their work and avoid gender violation. Changing employer practices in the workplace enables women to lose stability and voice in their work (Henry et al., 2021). These unions help make the work-life of women better by boosting their pay to be fair, and justice pays according to work done. As proved in Agnes Nestor’s story, the women in the glove industry decided to unite and fight for their rights against the foreman, which worked. To sum up, it is crucial not only for women but also for all workers to have a labor union to protect their working rights and avoid any violations at work.
