Coalition of Labor Union Women Baltimore Chapter
About Coalition of Labor Union Women Baltimore Chapter
Since 1974, the Coalition of Labor Union Women has served as a beacon for union women seeking solidarity, empowerment, and collective action. The Baltimore, Maryland chapter carries forward this legacy of nonpartisan organizing within the labor movement, uniting women around common struggles and shared aspirations. What sets CLUW apart is its singular focus on the unique experiences and challenges facing women workers—from wage equality to workplace safety, from family care support to protection from harassment and discrimination. Members of the Baltimore Chapter come together not just as workers, but as advocates for systemic change within their unions and communities. The organization recognizes that women's participation at every level of the labor movement strengthens the entire movement and creates pathways for greater influence in political and legislative decision-making. Through committees, workshops, and collaborative campaigns, the Coalition builds relationships among union women while developing concrete strategies to address workplace inequities. The Baltimore community benefits from CLUW's commitment to organizing the unorganized, promoting affirmative action, and ensuring that women's voices shape labor policy and workplace standards. By fostering solidarity among union women across industries and backgrounds, the Coalition of Labor Union Women Baltimore Chapter continues its founding mission of creating a more just and equitable future for all workers.
