Coalition of Labor Union Women Philadelphia Chapter
About Coalition of Labor Union Women Philadelphia Chapter
Since its founding in 1974, the Coalition of Labor Union Women has served as a powerful voice for working women, and the Philadelphia, PA chapter continues this vital mission by building community power around workers' rights and social justice. This coed coalition in Philadelphia brings together union members and advocates who recognize that women's advancement requires sustained action on interconnected issues—from fighting for $15 minimum wage to protecting reproductive rights, supporting fair labor practices, and demanding equitable pay. The organization provides more than advocacy; it serves as a training ground and support system for women who want to grow as leaders within their unions and their communities. The Philadelphia chapter stands in solidarity with movements for racial justice, immigrant rights, environmental protection, and gender equality, understanding that workers' rights cannot be separated from broader human rights. By maintaining a non-partisan approach focused on issues rather than candidates, the Coalition of Labor Union Women Philadelphia Chapter creates space for diverse union members to unite around shared economic and social concerns. Whether members are fighting against workplace exploitation, advocating for paid sick leave, or working to raise wages and improve working conditions, this organization embodies the principle that collective action by organized women workers can transform not just their own lives, but the entire labor movement and communities throughout Philadelphia and beyond.
