Coalition of Labor Union Women Philadelphia Chapter

The Coalition of Labor Union Women Philadelphia Chapter is a dedicated organization working to advance the rights and opportunities of working women throughout Philadelphia, PA and beyond. Founded as part of a national movement in 1974, the Philadelphia chapter identifies and addresses the specific challenges facing women in the workforce, particularly women of color, and develops comprehensive action programs to create meaningful change. The organization serves as a crucial training ground and support network for women seeking to advance within their unions and secure better working conditions. The Philadelphia chapter actively champions critical workplace issues including earned paid sick leave, pay equity initiatives, fair wage standards, and improved public school funding. Operating on a non-partisan basis, the organization focuses on substantive policy matters rather than political endorsements, allowing members to unite around shared economic and social justice concerns. The coalition brings together representatives from multiple unions to collaborate on labor struggles and workers' rights advocacy. Whether addressing reproductive rights, workplace safety, fair labor practices, or broader human rights concerns, the Coalition of Labor Union Women Philadelphia Chapter remains committed to making unions more responsive to their female members' needs and fostering a more equitable workplace for all workers in the Philadelphia community.
