VOWW is a project co-sponsored by the Labor Education Program and the Center for Women and Work (CWW). Our goals are:
- To share workplace experiences with others at UML
- To identify issues that all working women at UML share
- To create an understanding of the unique issues facing women in different types of jobs
- To create a community of women involved in solving collectively defined issues/problems
Climate Survey
Voices of Working Women (VOWW) has been working to improve flextime at UMass Lowell for the past few years. The issue of flex time was identified at VOWW luncheons as an area of concern for employees at UMass Lowell. To further our discussion with the university, we need your feedback.
