Mexican training workshop reflects changing times

A growing number of women are employed in Mexico’s mining industry which barely a decade ago was entirely dominated by men.  The ‘Women of Steel’ workshop, supported by the USW, was aimed at promoting equal opportunities and the empowerment of women both in the industry and in trade unions. The workshop was conducted at Goldcorp’s Minera Peñasquito, a company which is implementing programmes aimed at integrating women into the workforce.
