Earlier this week, CWA Chief of Staff Sylvia J. Ramos and Public, Healthcare and Education Workers Vice President Margaret Cook won their races for Coalition of Labor Union Women (CLUW) National President and National Vice President-CWA, respectively. Washington-Baltimore Newspaper Guild (TNG-CWA Local 32035) member Marylin Wiley has also been elected to serve as the CLUW National Treasurer. Each will serve four years in office. CLUW’s mission is to address issues facing women in the labor movement and create the infrastructure to remedy those issues.

Said Ramos, “I ran for CLUW National President because I believe that change doesn’t happen by chance. It comes through hard work, perseverance, and a willingness to take an unwavering stance when necessary. The advancement of women’s rights and equality deserves nothing less than our total commitment.”

Congratulations to CLUW National President Sylvia J. Ramos, CLUW National Treasurer Marilyn Wiley, and CLUW National Vice President-CWA Margaret Cook.
