Coalition of Labor Union Women

Founded in 1974 the Coalition of Labor Union Women (CLUW) is the only national women's membership organization within the labor movement that is leading the effort to empower women in the workplace, advance women in their unions, encourage political and legislative involvement, organize women workers into unions and promote policies that support women and working families. CLUW promotes participation and leadership development for women in the workplace and at all levels of the union structure. CLUW has 36 chapters throughout the country. CLUW works closely with women’s and community advocacy organizations as well as labor unions to achieve its mission. ( See www.cluw.org for more information.)
