Coalition of Labor Union Women (U.S.) (New York City Chapter)
Variant names
The New York City (NYC) chapter of the Coalition of Labor Union Women (CLUW) has been in existence since at least 1980. Past presidents include Joan Levinson-Cohen and Emagene Walker. The NYC chapter was established in the 1970s or 1980s. The national organization was formed in Chicago in March 1974 to discuss the formation of a new AFL-CIO body that would directly address the concerns of women in the labor movement. The organization strives to strengthen the position of women in unions and unite all union women by identifying and advocating against the problems uniquely facing women in the labor force. CLUW currently has an active network of more than 75 chapters.
