Coalition of Labor Union Women Metro Detroit Chapter

The Coalition of Labor Union Women Metro Detroit Chapter advances the interests and participation of union women throughout Michigan's labor movement. As part of America's only national organization dedicated exclusively to union women, the Detroit chapter works to empower women at all levels within their unions and the broader labor community. The organization focuses on critical workplace issues including equal pay advocacy, job security protections, safe working conditions, affordable healthcare access, and protection from sexual harassment and discrimination. Operating within the Detroit, MI area, CLUW Metro Detroit implements action programs designed to promote social and economic justice while organizing unorganized workers. Members actively advocate for essential benefits such as child and elder care support, contraceptive equity, and workplace safety standards. The chapter engages in political and legislative advocacy to amplify women's voices in decision-making processes that affect working families. With roots tracing back to CLUW's 1974 founding, the Metro Detroit Chapter continues the organization's founding mission to unify union women in addressing shared challenges and advancing their collective interests within the labor movement.
