The New England Joint Board Women's Network was formed in 1996. Its primary purpose is to unify New England Joint Board Woman through a district network.

The network believes that active participation of woman members in RWDSU will enhance our union's strength at the bargaining table, in organizing campaigns and in the political arena.

 Our network has worked to assess woman's common problems and concerns and tried to develop action programs to address those concerns within the framework of our Local Union. In doing so we have learned that woman's problems are really issues that affect our families so they're really everyone's concerns.
