Industry Update
On Friday, November 14, NAWIC held a virtual Emergency Townhall Meeting in response to the murder of tradeswoman Amber Czech. Nearly 300 women in construction and allies joined the call. It is with profound grief, outrage, and unwavering resolve that NAWIC is calling for immediate, systemic action to protect women in the trades. We have compiled a comprehensive information and resource document focused on harassment and workplace violence prevention, mitigation, and response. This document includes valuable resources and information which will be shared during the Town Hall Follow Up.
