Question 3
8 marksStudy Source A below, then answer the question.
Source A: From a letter written by a woman machinist at a car factory, published in her trade union's monthly magazine in 1969. She was writing to persuade other union members to support a national campaign for equal pay.
Written for practice: not a real historical source.
At our plant the women who sew the car seat covers are graded below the men who sweep the floors. Last summer the machinists at another factory stopped work for three weeks over the same grievance, and the whole line was halted for want of seat covers. Our branch supported them. We are told a Bill on equal pay is being prepared, but a law that takes years to come into force will not pay this week's bills. Until women sit on the union's committees as well as marching behind its banners, our claims will always be settled last.
