February Is Black History Month
To celebrate Black History Month, we're spotlighting Hattie Canty, a black unionist, labor activist, and one of the greatest strike leaders in U.S. history.?Canty was born in rural Alabama in 1933 to an early life marked by racism and poverty. As a young woman, she worked numerous jobs to provide for her ten children. In the late 1970s, Canty began working at the Maxim Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, a job that spurred her involvement with union and labor politics. She went on to serve nearly ten years as the Culinary Union's first female president and led the longest strike in history. Thanks partly to Canty's leadership, by the early 2000s, unionized hospitality workers in Vegas could make more than double what workers in other cities were making.
The Importance of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion &?Accessibility?in WIOA
The economic fallout caused by the COVID-19 pandemic shone a long-overdue light on many systemic workforce inequities faced by marginalized populations. Racial and ethnic minorities were unemployed at higher rates during COVID and overrepresented in frontline jobs. In general, marginalized populations, including people of color, women, working parents, and LGBTQ+, face a number of systemic inequities in the workplace. As we collectively work towards an equitable economic recovery, prioritizing DEIA (diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility) is more important than ever, particularly within the framework of workforce development.
