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 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.

CLUW is proud to join with the
Sister Study by encouraging our members to participate
in the study and to learn more about the
causes of breast cancer. The Sister Study is the
only long-term study of women aged 35 to 74 whose
sister had breast cancer. It is a national study
to learn how environment and genes affect the
chances of getting breast cancer.
