La masiva incorporación laboral de mujeres al sector financiero, hace parte de las estrategias emprendidas por las empresas en el contexto de la globalización económica para adoptar una imagen renovada y competitiva. Las características de su demanda están orientadas por las concepciones tradicionalmente asociadas con el trabajo femenino: estereotipos de mayor responsabilidad (producto de las necesidades creadas por la maternidad), más disciplina, disponibilidad para seguir órdenes, cumplimiento y honradez, se refuerzan con los de juventud, presentación personal (belleza) y estudios, como parte de las necesidades de un/a trabajador/a adaptado a los nuevos requerimientos de la cultura organizacional de la empresa. El presente estudio se propuso indagar por la inclusión de los intereses de las trabajadoras y su representación en la Negociación Colectiva, a partir de analizar en los actores del conflicto (Banco-Sindicatos), qué relaciones de género desarrollan y como se relacionan. Se encontró que Bancolombia reproduce mediante mecanismos sutiles unas veces, ocultos otras, la discriminación y subordinación tradicional de las mujeres en el trabajo. La maternidad se convierte en atractivo para la vinculación laboral más no para su reconocimiento social, al estar asociada a la condición de pobrezanecesidad. Los sindicatos dirigidos mayoritariamente por hombres, tampoco reconocen la discriminación laboral femenina y se orientan hacia los intereses “generales” (de clase) que desconocen las particularidades de los sujetos del trabajo por lo cual, los intereses y las demandas de las mujeres en el trabajo todavía no hacen parte de las agendas sindicales Internamente en sus relaciones, también reproducen la división sexual del trabajo, asignándole a las liderezas los cargos bajos y las tareas reproductivas. A través de los “controles" políticos impiden el avance y la organización de las mujeres. A su vez las liderezas no desarrollan identidad de género que les permita interpelar estas condiciones en sus liderazgos y representar los intereses y demandas de las trabajadoras. Las trabajadoras aún no son conscientes de su discriminación y no se reconocen como sujetos del trabajo. No obstante su mayor vinculación al empleo remunerado también obedece a las transformaciones que desde las mujeres se ha hecho del espacio laboral y las convierten en un potencial sujeto de cambio, que estaría indicando su incursión a futuro en la representación de sus derechos. Para la realización de este estudio se realizaron una encuesta a la empresa y a los sindicatos, que fueron complementadas con entrevistas individuales y a grupos y dos historias de vida. Se reviso información documental de la empresa y los sindicatos.

En el contexto de los estudios de género, se encuentran documentos teóricos, pero no estudios de campo que permitan profundizar en la cotidianidad de la participación y la organización de las mujeres Colombianas en el medio local, especialmente, luego de la promulgación de la Nueva Constitución de 1.991, la cual tiene consignado, como su eje central, la participación y tal como lo expresa: “Colombia es un Estado Social de derecho, organizado en forma de República unitaria, descentralizada, con autonomía de sus entidades territoriales, democrática, participativa y pluralista, fundada en el respeto de la dignidad humana, en el trabajo y solidaridad de las personas que la integran y en la prevalencia del interés general".1 La problemática se aprecia en que la participación de las mujeres no se presenta en la medida en que corresponde a su acción, tanto comunitaria como de participación en los procesos de elección y decisión desde el ámbito local, dadas las condiciones de asignación de roles, los sistemas de inclusión y exclusión, tanto en lo privado, como en lo público y los procesos en que ha ido surgiendo su acción local.

Centered around the aspiring actress Becca and her whirlwind rise to stardom, Everyone is Tulip is an original graphic novel that explores what it means to be a "star" in a generation that places more attention and value on YouTube clips and memes than it does Hollywood celebrities. Becca Harper lands an acting role she didn't think would go anywhere, and suddenly finds herself flung into a "15 minutes of fame" that sees her likeness not up in lights, but in memes, reaction videos, and even conspiracy theories. Donning the guise of "Tulip" for an experimental artsy video, directed by an affluent jerk (that she somehow ends up dating), Becca's dreams seem to have come true when her persona becomes the talk of the internet. With a sudden army of fans, complications arise when Becca begins to question whether or not she has the right to consider herself a star. Created by indie comic all-stars Dave Baker (Star Trek: Voyager - Seven's Reckoning, F*ck Off Squad, Night Hunters) and Nicole Goux (Shadow of The Batgirl, F*ck Off Squad, Jem and The Holograms: Dimensions 3, Murders), Everyone is Tulip is a deeply psychological exploration of the new frontier of modern media and the discomfort of internet fame.
