Take a break, we’re on Smoko! This week we are joined by Julie D’Altroy, a seasoned electrician with over 16 years of experience. Julie provides insights into her journey in the skilled trades, offering a glimpse into her daily tasks as a residential electrician, which range from wiring houses to installing lights and plugs. Despite the challenges she faces, Julie finds deep satisfaction in witnessing the tangible outcomes of her work and takes immense pride in her accomplishments.
Transitioning to her role within the union, Julie sheds light on her responsibilities in membership development, where she champions for fair wages, benefits, and safety standards for electricians while organizing non-union shops. She underscores the vital role of union representation in safeguarding the rights and well-being of workers.
Julie shares her involvement in the women's committee and Sisters in the Trade, initiatives aimed at providing support and guidance to women in traditionally male-dominated fields. These platforms serve as invaluable spaces for women to connect, share experiences, and navigate challenges together, fostering a sense of camaraderie and empowerment.
Julie's passion for her profession and commitment to advocating for fellow electricians shines brightly. Her narrative underscores the resilience and determination essential for success in the trades, while also highlighting the significance of community and solidarity in driving positive change within the industry. Join us as we delve into the intricacies of women's participation in the skilled trades and celebrate the strides made towards greater gender diversity and representation in the field.
