Amplify
the voice of women in the workforce by strengthening
CLUW, the only national organization for union women.
Both nationally and through our chapters, CLUW has been
busy lobbying the government, educating the public and
rallying our sisters and brothers in the workforce over
such issues as equal pay, Social Security protection
and the Employee Free Choice Act. We have built partnerships
with other constituency and community groups through
town hall meetings held throughout the country. We have
participated in GOTV activities. We have rallied for
a peaceful solution to the war in Iraq. We have worked
to protect women's health through our Cervical Cancer
Prevention Works project and have educated our union
brothers and sisters about the need for contraceptive
equity.
We will continue to fight for the original
goals we established back in 1974: promoting affirmative
action in the workplace; strengthening the role of women
in unions; organizing unorganized women; and increasing
the involvement of women in the political and legislative
process.
Help us make a difference for
working women. Sign up today
or renew your CLUW membership.
