In this episode of Today’s Rosie we hear from two different generations of tradeswomen who work for SEPTA, Philadelphia’s regional transit agency. Melody Wells has been at SEPTA for over 25 years and is now a 2nd class mechanic. Margaret Cobb has been at SEPTA for only 3 years and is now a 2nd class construction equipment operator. They talk about being mothers, Black tradeswomen, what has changed for women in the trades, and what hasn’t. To learn more, visit Wincproject.org or email [email protected].
