Emily LB Twarog quoted in The New Republic | “Trump Is Making It Harder for Women to Work in Construction”

“The vast majority of women and LGBTQ+ workers say they experience some kind of harassment, regardless of the kind of employment they have,” said Emily Labarbera-Twarog, an associate professor at the University of Illinois who studies workplace harassment. “But these are jobs where women are in the very, very, very small minority. I mean, you’re talking about 4 percent of the population.… So it’s super small, and harassment is definitely something that is happening on a regular basis.”
