Zealand Transport Agency will update its signs from "Linemen" to "Line Crew" after receiving a letter from a seven-year-old who pointed out
that "women can be line-workers too".The letter was written by Zoe Carew who became incensed when she saw the "Linemen" signs while on her
way to visit her grandparents in the city of Eastbourne, the Guardian reported.The sign "Linemen" indicates that people installing or fixing
power lines are working in the area."Why does the sign say 'Linemen' when the people working on the lines may be men or women I think this
Do you agree" Carew wrote in a letter to Fergus Gammie, the chief executive of the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA)."I don't really want
to be a line-worker when I grow up because there are so many more exciting things I would like to do, but some girls might want to learn to
be linewomen," Carew said."Can you please change the sign to say 'Line-workers' instead, or something else correct and fair like that," she
asked.Gammie wrote back to Carew, in a letter that her proud mother shared on Twitter alongside her daughter's original note.The chief
executive commended her for her suggestion and "for taking action where you think something unfair should be fixed
Well done", the Guardian quoted from the social media post.
