Dear Sisters and Brothers:
A number of concerned union women, including myself, are
organizing a local chapter of the Coalition of Labor Union
Women (CLUW) in this area.
We extend an invitation to you and other members of your
union to help us launch this new CLUW chapter. We also would
appreciate your help in sharing this information with as many
active and retired workers as possible.
CLUW is a nonpartisan organization within the union movement.
Formed in 1974, CLUW has more than 75 chapters and a membership
of 20,000 women and men across the country and is endorsed
by many national unions.
The primary aim of CLUW is to unify all union women in a
viable organization to determine our common problems and concerns
and to develop action programs within the framework of our
unions to deal effectively with our objectives.
The basic goals of CLUW are to promote affirmative action
in the workplace, strengthen the role of women in their unions,
organize the unorganized women and increase involvement of
women in the political and legislative process.
CLUW local chapters educate members, keep them up-to-date
and provide a support network for women in unions.
While working women have overcome many obstacles with CLUW's
involvement, there is still much work to be done. With your
help, we can use our collective strength to make a difference
right here, right now.
Thank you for your cooperation in helping to create the _______________________
chapter of the Coalition of Labor Union Women.
For additional information regarding organizing meetings,
please contact me at your convenience at ____________.
In Solidarity,
