Abstract
This article considers the benefits of union affiliation and involvement for women teachers, for whom it has particular importance. The article interprets data derived from two studies: an exploration of the value of unionism to a broad range of teachers in three secondary schools, and research on the work and motives of union-active teachers. Women teachers’ motives for union involvement (material and security concerns; the nature of teaching careers; and teachers’ abilities to assume responsibility for policies and programs beyond the classroom), and the gendered nature of their experiences in and around unions, offer useful directions for the future of North American teacher unionism.
