Coalition of Labor Union Women Dallas Chapter
About Coalition of Labor Union Women Dallas Chapter
Serving the Dallas, TX community since its establishment as part of the national movement, the Coalition of Labor Union Women Dallas Chapter represents a legacy of solidarity and advocacy rooted in the labor movement. Born from the 1974 founding convention in Chicago, CLUW emerged as America's only national organization dedicated exclusively to union women, recognizing the unique challenges and contributions of women within labor unions. The Dallas Chapter carries forward this mission by unifying local union women to address shared concerns and develop meaningful action programs. Members speak with one voice on issues that matter most: equal pay, workplace safety, health care benefits, job security, and protection from harassment and discrimination. The organization is deeply committed to increasing women's visibility and influence at every level of union leadership and decision-making. Beyond workplace advocacy, the Dallas Chapter actively engages in the political and legislative arena, ensuring that union women's perspectives shape policy outcomes that affect their families and communities. Operating as a nonpartisan organization within the broader labor movement, the Dallas Chapter combines the strength of collective action with a focus on social and economic justice. Whether organizing the unorganized or promoting affirmative action initiatives, the Chapter remains dedicated to its founding principles of empowerment, equity, and solidarity among union women throughout the Dallas region.
