Greater New Jersey Coalition of Labor Union Women

The Greater New Jersey Coalition of Labor Union Women, based in Ewing, NJ, is the local chapter of America's only national organization dedicated exclusively to union women. Since its founding in 1974, CLUW has served as a nonpartisan force within the labor movement, providing union women with a unified platform to address workplace challenges and advance their professional interests. The organization operates with four core objectives that drive its advocacy and member services: empowering women for greater participation at all levels within the labor movement, organizing unorganized workers, promoting affirmative action and social and economic justice in the workplace, and increasing women's participation in political and legislative processes. The Greater New Jersey Coalition actively works on critical workplace issues including equal pay advocacy, child and elder care benefits, job security protections, safe workplace standards, affordable healthcare access, contraceptive equity, and protection from sexual harassment and violence at work. By serving the Ewing, New Jersey community and surrounding regions, the organization provides union women with resources, networking opportunities, and collective action programs designed to create meaningful change within their unions and industries. Members benefit from participation in committees, access to member resources, and involvement in advocacy initiatives that align with the labor movement's broader goals. The organization maintains strong connections with the AFL-CIO and other labor organizations, positioning itself as a vital resource for women seeking to advance their careers and influence labor policy at local, state, and national levels.
