Abstract

Women Workers in Massachusetts
Jackson, Gardner | December 3, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The article throws light on the triumph of Democrats in the fight for the governorship of Massachusetts. This, in turn, brings them face-to-face with a challenge from the women workers of the Commonwealth, a challenge which was made explicit by the nature of the campaign conducted by the Republicans in their pose as labor's angels. Massachusetts prides herself on her advanced labor legislation- the minimum-wage law for women, the forty-eight-hour week, laws to provide good working conditions, and laws for the protection of workers in hazardous jobs.
