MEN'S ACCOMMODATIONS TO WOMEN ENTERING A NONTRADITIONAL OCCUPATION:

A Case of Rapid Transit Operatives

MARIAN SWERDLOW

Buffalo State College

This article examines problems that arise when women enter nontraditional blue-collar occupations. Despite job security, women's arrival in one such workplace generated strains by threatening assumptions of male supremacy. Previous research has examined women's modes of accommodation to male-dominated workplaces. In this case, men as well as women developed accommodative patterns that allowed them to accept women as co-workers without giving up their beliefs about male superiority.
