Sisters Blair Babione, 11, and Brienne Babione, 9, pose with women police officers and firefighters for Carmel, Indiana (Credit: City of Carmel) CARMEL, Ind. - Leave it to sisters Blair Babione, 11, and Brienne Babione, 9, to remind people that women work in construction, too.The siblings spotted a "men working" sign posted near a construction site a few weeks ago in Carmel, Indiana. That prompted them, along with their mother, to write a letter to town leaders asking why the sign was posted when plenty of women also work in the field. City spokesperson Dan McFeely said the city didn’t own the sign, pointing out that the city adopted gender-neutral signs years ago along with the state and federal governments.
