TY - JOUR TI - Feminism and labor unions: Transforming state regulation of women's programs AU - Pennell, J. T2 - Journal of Progressive Human Services AB - Abstract Usually, feminist service programs must rely on state funding, and as a consequence, may be diverted from advancing women's agendas. They require stratagems, preferably backed by the law, to counter these pressures. A study of labor unionized shelters in Canada and the United States found that one possibility is collective bargaining. These women's programs and their unions demonstrated that they can effectively transform state regulation at two levels. First, collective bargaining which is governed by labor law can be reshaped to advance the valuation and support of caregiving and workers' say over its delivery. Second, collective bargaining is a way of strengthening women's programs in their negotiations with public as well as private funding bodies. Their initiatives can guide radical social workers' efforts to maintain both their ideals and professional role.
