Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 2025, as Women in the Trades Month in the State of New York
This Assembly Resolution (K 181) requests Governor Hochul to officially proclaim March 2025 as "Women in the Trades Month" in New York State. It symbolically recognizes women's contributions and underrepresentation in male-dominated skilled trades like construction, plumbing, and electrical work - where women make up only 4% of workers nationally. The resolution aims to raise awareness of women's achievements and challenges in these fields, highlighting efforts to promote inclusivity and workforce diversity. As a procedural resolution (not a law), it has been adopted by the Assembly but requires the Governor's formal proclamation to take effect.
