Coalition of Labor Union Women Genesee County Chapter
About Coalition of Labor Union Women Genesee County Chapter
The Coalition of Labor Union Women Genesee County Chapter represents a vital community of union women in Flint, MI who are united in their commitment to social and economic justice. Rooted in the national CLUW movement established in 1974, this local chapter brings together women from diverse union backgrounds to address their shared concerns and create meaningful change within the labor movement and broader society. The organization embodies four foundational objectives: empowering women for greater leadership roles in unions, organizing workers, promoting affirmative action and workplace justice, and amplifying women's voices in political and legislative advocacy. In Flint and surrounding areas, the chapter serves as a community hub where union women connect, organize, and mobilize around issues that directly impact their lives and families. Members speak out collectively for equal compensation, workplace safety, healthcare benefits, and freedom from harassment and discrimination. The Genesee County Chapter demonstrates that union women are not passive members but active agents of change, working collaboratively to transform workplace conditions and advance the interests of working families throughout the region. By fostering solidarity among women workers and connecting local action to national priorities, the chapter continues CLUW's legacy of building power from the ground up.
