2 sisters stop use of 'Men Working' signs after learning they were banned decades ago
A resolution has now been passed to mandate workers use appropriate signage.
Two sisters have sparked change after learning that some workers were breaking a law in their Indiana community for using "Men Working" signs.
Blair Babione, 11, and Brienne Babione, 9, wrote letters to Carmel City Council President Sue Finkam and now a resolution has passed to mandate that workers use appropriate signage.
"It blew me away," mom Leslie Babione of Carmel, Indiana told "Good Morning America." "I'm very proud of them for asking questions and most proud that after asking questions they said, 'Well, what can we do about it?'"
Babione said her daughters spotted a "Men Working" sign in January and wanted to research the history of the sign. They learned that gender-specific signage is against regulation as per the Federal Highway Administration's Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).
"Leslie [Babione]'s work and the girls' cute letters brought that to our attention," Finkam told "GMA."
