Against this background, a group of telephone operators found in Caceres a valuable allied for their salary raise and a better working environment complaint. This alliance confirms what Michelle Perrot points it out when referring to the first initiatives of female unionization, are organized by women external to laborer world but compromised with the associative movement and recognition.
