Biography

Ronnie Sandler grew up in northern New England and earned a BA in psychology and education from Franconia College in New Hampshire in 1971. In 1972 Sandler began her career as a carpenter in New Hampshire, and would later go on to become a union activist in her chosen profession. In 1976 she became the first woman to join a trades union in Michigan when she became a member of the Detroit local of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America. While in Michigan Sandler started a program called STEP-UP for Women, to prepare women for successful entrance into apprenticeship programs. In 1985 she created another iteration of this program in Vermont with funding from the Vermont Department of Education.

In 1987 Sandler founded Northern New England Tradeswomen Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to helping women enter nontraditional careers. As executive director of Northern New England Tradeswomen Inc. Sandler was an active member of a coalition called Northeast Women in Transportation (NEWIT). This coalition was created to help the member organizations and other women's advocates learn about accessing funds from the Intermodal Surface Transportation and Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991, to train women for jobs in the transportation industry. Sandler worked with NEWIT to put on several conferences about accessing ISTEA funds to involve more women in transportation careers. Sandler went on to start the firm Compliance U.S.A. which consulted on employment and civil rights related matters for construction projects.

Scope and Content

The papers and audiovisual materials comprising the Ronnie Sandler collection (1942-2016; undated, bulk 1990-1998) document her career as an active member of the tradeswomen's movement.

Much of the correspondence and organizational materials in this collection are related to Ronnie Sandler's efforts to organize with other tradeswomen's organizations to access funds from the Intermodal Surface Transportation and Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991, to train women for non-traditional jobs. These efforts include lobbying members of congress, the U.S. Department of Transportation, the U.S. Department of Labor, and state transportation agencies. ISTEA, which was signed into law in 1991 and expired in 1997, contained a provision in which ¼ of 1% of funding received by states could be used to train women and minorities for transportation jobs. As the executive director of Northern New England Tradeswomen Inc. Sandler also participated in coalition of organizations called Northeast Women in Transportation (NEWIT) that was dedicated to making ISTEA funds available for job training for women. NEWIT organized conferences called IT'S ISTEA TIME and ISTEA II to strategize how to secure these funds from transportation agencies throughout the United States. Also included are reports, contracts, proposals and other material from Compliance, U.S.A.- a company founded by Sandler.

The bulk of this collection consists of reports and manuals; as well as Compliance U.S.A. and NEWIT project contracts and proposals; and other consulting projects such as: Better Jobs for New Hampshire Women, CareerInRoads, On-The-Job-Training Program, and projects through the New Hampshire and Maine Departments of Transportation. The most frequent topics addressed in the reports and manuals are: ISTEA, women in non-traditional jobs, and sexual harassment in the workplace. Some of the documents are official statistics or reports from government agencies but the bulk of the manuals are from tradeswomen's organizations like NEWIT.

Formats include organizational records, calendars, promotional materials, scholarly articles, business cards, newsletters and other publications, newspaper clippings, books, correspondence, receipts and financial documents, handwritten notes, photographs, VHS tapes, and tote bags.
