The St. Louis chapter of CLUW has been active in the St. Louis Labor Movement for 44 years. Its members have engaged in the fight to defeat “right-to-work (for less)” and paycheck “protection” (deception) efforts, joined the CATE coalition to expose sex and labor trafficking here and abroad and have stood with low-wage workers in the Show Me $15 (Fight for $15) organizing drives fighting for $15 an hour and a union.
