Abstract

Trade unions are, as masculinized organizations or inequality regimes, a space of contention in which men and women compete employing a plurality of power resources (mainly positional, personal, collective, and symbolic). Applying the intersectional perspective of power resources, and drawing on life stories of a sample of female labour activists, this article analyses the obstacles for a full participation of women in trade unions, and the strategies that they develop to counter inequality. It identifies two main obstacles for female participation: the difficulty to conciliate work, family and trade union, and the masculinized construction of trade unionism. The article also identifies four types of strategies with which women struggle to participate in trade unions. These strategies, which can be complementary, pursue different types of power resources.
