Rooted in the Elyria, Ohio community, the Coalition of Labor Union Women Lorain County Chapter represents a legacy of solidarity and collective action dating back to 1974. This chapter embodies the organization's founding mission to unify union women and address their shared concerns through organized, purposeful advocacy. What sets this organization apart is its unwavering commitment to the four core objectives established at CLUW's founding: empowering women for greater participation at all levels in the labor movement, organizing the unorganized, promoting affirmative action and social and economic justice, and increasing women's participation in political and legislative processes. Members of the Lorain County Chapter are driven by a shared vision of workplace equity and dignity, speaking out collectively on issues that matter most to working women—from equal pay and job security to safe working conditions and freedom from harassment. The organization's strength lies in its ability to bring together union women from diverse backgrounds and industries, creating a supportive network where voices are heard and action is taken. By maintaining its nonpartisan stance within the labor movement, the Coalition ensures that all union women can participate regardless of their union affiliation. In Elyria and throughout Lorain County, this chapter continues to be a beacon of hope and empowerment for women committed to building a more just and equitable workplace for themselves and future generations.
