Jobs for Women Campaign - a podcast by Amy McMurtrie, Anya Saravanan, Ayan Shirwa, Emma Hart, and Iris Lee

This week’s show tells the story of the ‘Jobs for Women Campaign’ of the 1980s in Wollongong, New South Wales. Feminist-socialists and migrant women took on Australia’s then biggest employer, and won the right to work in male-dominated spaces. We’re joined by activist and former employee at the steelworks, Robynne Murphy.To support the Jobs for Women film, see their Facebook page, email jobsforwomen@gmail.com or go to jobsforwomenfilm.com.Photo credit: Jobs for Women Facebook page [photographer unknown]Thank you to the Victorian Trade Union Choir for some of the music for today’s show.
