Women's Department
The UAW Women's Department was created in 1955
to focus attention on the issues
and concerns of women in the workplace and
to provide education aimed at motivating
women to become active in their union. Working
in coalition with other progressive groups,
such as the Coalition of Labor Union Women
(CLUW), the Women's Department is active
in grassroots lobbying and educating women
and men alike on such issues as domestic violence,
sexual harassment, pay equity, and child care.
A member of the Women's Department serves on
the National Committee on Pay Equity;
a national coalition the UAW helped found.
The department also helps regions and local
unions implement UAW policies on equality,
sex discrimination, and sexual harassment; and
sets up Women's Committees and Family Auxiliaries.
