Abstract: This paper analyzes the differential effects of organizational experience on men and women union officers in Israeli industry. The general hypothesis is that among women, prior supervisory experience is instrumental for overcoming the constraints which keep women from leadership positions. A significantly greater proportion of women supervisors than men supervisors is elected to union office. A significantly greater proportion of women without rather than with prior supervisory experience, stated that they had had apprehensions about future performance as union officers, a difference not found among men.
