It’s No Longer Just “Men At Work” On Atlanta Road Signs

http://www.laborradio.org/node/9002

Female road construction workers are now receiving equal acknowledgement in Atlanta work zones. The City of Atlanta has long used the iconic “Men At Work” signs in roadway construction zones, even though it isn’t only men who are at work. Following a formal complaint made by the editor of PINK Magazine that the signs are discriminatory, the city has made the decision to put up gender neutral signs that say “Workers Ahead.”
