The Coalition of Labor Union Women (CLUW) Center for Education and Research was established in 1979 to advocate for the rights of working women in the workplace and the labor movement.

Women in unions are 40% of total union membership. Organized women workers receive higher wages, better working conditions, and protection from discrimination through their union membership. CLUW is a national association of more than 20,000 union members which advances the benefits of organized workplaces for women and promotes women's leadership development within the labor movement.

The CLUW Center responds to the challenges and concerns of working women by preparing educational workshops and conferences; producing materials; developing model programs on women's health and leadership training; conducting research on the status of working women in unions; and advocating for an end to discrimination on the job.
