Coalition of Labor Union Women Philadelphia Chapter
About Coalition of Labor Union Women Philadelphia Chapter
The Coalition of Labor Union Women is a national organization founded in 1974 to address the critical needs of millions of unorganized women and to make our unions more responsive to the needs of their female members, especially women of color. CLUW identifies common problems and concerns of working women and develops action programs to address them. Our national President is Connie Leak, United Auto Workers, and we have prestigious representatives from many unions on our national Officers Council.
CLUW does not endorse political parties or candidates, but we do take positions on, and act on, major issues and legislation which affect working women. We support a woman’s right to choose, preservation of affirmative action, many local labor struggles, and we are a training ground and support group for women who wish to advance within their own unions
We are a coed coalition fighting for women's rights, union rights, workers' rights, human rights and mother earth's rights in Philadelphia and throughout the world!
Philadelphia CLUW is non-partisan and we do not endorse candidates, we focus on the issues!
