Since our power is in our numbers, recruiting new CLUW members is always a top priority. Our success depends on the initiative, enthusiasm and persistence of each CLUW member to organize in their own union. So take pride in recruiting, because CLUW must grow if we are to continue building a stronger labor movement and more inclusive societies around the world.

• Spread the word about CLUW.
• Distribute CLUW brochures at the work place and union meetings.
• Distribute National CLUW membership applications.
• Develop CLUW posters with accomplishments, goals, and a contact person.
• Set up a Speakers Bureau from your CLUW membership.
• Get members to speak at their regular union meetings.
• Get members to speak at community and civic programs.
