CLUW Honors 11 Union Women for ‘Extraordinary Achievements’

CLUW Honors 11 Union Women for ‘Extraordinary Achievements’

by Mike Hall, Mar 19, 2010



In honor of Women’s History Month, the Coalition of Labor Union Women (CLUW) last night presented its first annual Working Women’s Awards to 11 women who have left their mark on and helped build the labor movement.

The ceremony, at the AFL-CIO in Washington, D.C., honored the women for their extraordinary achievements, leadership, and for being exemplary models for working women who seek to advance in their workplace, union and community.

AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Liz Shuler, who received one of the awards, said it was thanks to the work and success of many of the women in attendance that she has been able to walk down the path they pioneered.

Take a look around this room. Wow, what incredible talent, what incredible commitment to working women there is right here. As you all know, this celebration is all about Women’s History Month…but you don’t just celebrate women’s history-you make it yourselves. I owe a lot to you. It’s because of you that I can stand here tonight.

FULL story at link.
