As mothers and wives, women do exert considerable impacts on the productivity of male workers. As workers in their own rights they can conveniently be likened to the
Biblical rejected stone which has become the cornerstone of the house. By their sheer psychological, physiological and intellectual make up, they do perform more than mere
complementary roles in the production process.

From their current level of involvement, however, it is clear that their importance in the administration or, indeed, the government and politics of trade unions is being dwarfed. The need to evaluate the situation in the trade union movement in Nigeria with a view to redressing the imbalance between female and their male counterparts cannot be discountenanced indefinitely. This publication — the result of a national workshop on the theme Women and Trade Unionism in Nigeria jointly sponsored in April 1994 by Michael Imoudu Institute for Labour Studies, Ilorin and Friedrich Ebert Foundation,
Lagos — is our contribution to meeting this need.
