Work and Family: Still the Most Difficult Revolution? A Review of the Women and Unions Conference, 2003
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Cook claims that the relationship between women and unions is the most difficult revolution facing women. The Cornell conference in November 2003 was dedicated to investigating the ways in which Cook’s claim is still relevant. Scholars and activists who participated in the conference identified contemporary problems facing women in their workplaces and in their unions. Women’s under-representation in union leadership, lack of union representation, discrimination at the workplace and marginalization of women’s issues within unions were cited as problems faced by women workers across the globe. Underlying each of these problems is the relationship between work and family. As Arlene Kaplan Daniels noted in her opening speech, when discussing women workers and unions, a key issue is always the relationship between work and family. She pointed out that the ethos of the domestic code whereby women are relegated to the home and are made responsible for the family is alive and well, and must be challenged. Barriers to women’s participation in union activity, to adequate numerical representations of women in leadership positions, to

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
