In the early 1970s, a group of Boston secretaries came together to improve the working conditions in their offices. Tired of low pay, lack of advancement opportunities, and constant sexual harassment, they created the group 9to5, which would eventually grow into a nationwide revolution that would change the American workplace for women.
9to5: The Story of a Movement captures this previously untold story of the feminist movement that solely focused on opening opportunities for working women both in boardrooms and in their closets. As women demanded regular salary reviews, written job descriptions, equal access to promotion opportunities, and benefits equal to men in similar job categories (women made 59 cents to every dollar,) some women also demanded freedom in their office wardrobes.
Funding of €1.6m has been approved for a new fire station for Dunleer.
It is hoped a site across the road from the present Barn Road facility can be acquired for the project.
The Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Darragh O Brien TD, announced the funding last week, with Dunleer one of six new stations approved.
It has been listed to start in 2021.
For Dunleer Fire Station Officer, John Molloy, it s very encouraging news, but they have been waiting on the new base for many years now. It is good news and now we d love to see it starting, he stated.
