Women's History Month Profiles: Blayne Joseph

Blayne Joseph

This year, for Women's History Month, we're taking a look at a group of leaders who are currently active making women's history across the labor movement. Check back daily for a new profile and meet some of the people working to improve not only their community, but also to improve conditions for working people across the country. Today's profile is Blayne Joseph of the Laborers (LIUNA).

Balancing a Laborers apprenticeship with caring for her children, Blayne Joseph graduated top of her class in pipeline training and became the first female stringing foreman on the Alaska North Slope. She is a true trailblazer, breaking barriers and promoting gender equality in traditionally male-dominated professions.
