Miller was Vice President of the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union and in 1980 became the first woman elected to the AFL-CIO Executive Council. In all her positions, she was a strong advocate for women in the labor force. Johnson, who died 8 months after Miller, had served as CLUW treasurer for 17 years prior to being elected president. She fought tirelessly for women to have equal access to economic opportunities. She was a lifetime women’s rights activist, labor and civil rights leader.
