This year, for Women’s History Month, we’re taking a look at a group of leaders who are currently active making women’s history across the labor movement. Check back daily for a new profile and meet some of the people working to improve not only their community, but also to improve conditions for working people across the country. Today’s profile is Blue Catlett of the Ironworkers.

Since beginning her career, she has obtained an OSHA 500 certification and has become an apprentice instructor, a certified welding instructor (CWI) at American Welding Society and the first female business agent of Local 28 and the Mid-Atlantic States District Council.
