“We thank each participant who took the time to enter,”
states Alabama-Mississippi Area Women’s Council Essay Program
Chair Tammy Roberts. “It is our desire that every student who
entered the contest learned something positive about the important role
unions play in the labor field. We wish them all well in the future.”
This year’s essay topics were “How Free Trade Impacts the
Labor Movement” or “Understanding the Purpose of a Union
Workforce”. The Alabama-Mississippi Area Women’s Council
Essay contest has a two-fold purpose; with those being providing much
needed scholarship money to perspective students and encouraging students
to learn more about the role that organized labor has played in building
the working class of our country.
