Join the room where union women organize.
Membership in the Coalition of Labor Union Women is open to any woman who is a member in good standing of a bona fide collective bargaining organization, and to associate members who support our work. Joining our New York Chapter connects you to a citywide network of stewards, organizers, retirees, and emerging leaders across every industry CLUW represents.
What you get when you join.
Citywide network
Direct connection to union women across the five boroughs and dozens of locals — building trades, public sector, healthcare, transport, education, and more.
Leadership development
Workshops on stewarding, contract enforcement, public speaking, and running for union office. Mentorship from sisters who have already walked the path.
Political mobilization
First-look briefings on legislation affecting working women in New York, and coordinated turnout for hearings, rallies, and elections.
Education & solidarity
Quarterly educational forums, joint actions with sister chapters, and access to the CLUW national resource library.
Voice in the chapter
Voting rights in chapter elections, candidacy for officer positions, and a seat at the table when we set our annual priorities.
Convention delegation
Eligibility to represent the New York Chapter at the biennial CLUW National Convention and at regional gatherings.
Membership categories.
For women in good standing with a union
Full voting rights, eligible to hold chapter office, and seated as a delegate to CLUW national bodies.
For allies who support our mission
Voice in meetings and educational programs. Associate members do not vote in chapter elections.

Continued voting rights, participation in chapter activities, and standing leadership on retiree-focused campaigns.
