 BEAUTIFUL LOSERS: THE HISTORIOGRAPHY OF THE <b>INDUSTRIALb> <b>WORKERSb> OF THE WORLD by Bob Black
The "pure and simple unionism" of the AFL of Gompers, like the anti-political <b>industrialb> unionism of the IWW, held that <b>workersb> should rely upon their own power, the independent power they wielded at the workplace, not on divisive, compromising and subordinating alliances with parties or politicians.
<b>Industrialb> unionism was something the IWW was better at preaching than practicing, simply because only occasionally did it succeed in organizing enough <b>workersb> to form genuine <b>industrialb> or craft union locals, and often not for long.
<b>Workersb> insisted upon their traditional prerogatives, even in very untraditional new industries, to preserve some control over their working time and the conditions of their toil.

 Elizabeth Gurley Flynn - Rebel Girl
Well, those are the initials for the <b>Industrialb> <b>Workersb> of the World which used to be called the "I Won't Work" which was extremely incongruous because actually the people who belonged to the organization were in the basic, most difficult hard-working industries of our country.
They didn't believe in the brotherhood of capital and labour and they believed that these unorganized foreign-born mass producation <b>workersb> should be organized in an <b>industrialb> union- all together in one union and not split up into a dozen or more organizations.
To call it the <b>workersb> of the World was rather an ambitious name as actually it never did go beyond the confines of the United States and it grew out of the desire of American <b>workersb> to continue the traditions and the form of organization of the old Knights of Labor.

 <b>Industrialb> <b>Workersb> of the World
The <b>Industrialb> <b>Workersb> of the World, better known as the IWW or the Wobblies, promoted the idea that "one big union" would generate the class power necessary to overthrow the wage system.
Indeed Gompers and other trade unionists suspected that antiunion forces funded the IWW in order to undermine collective bargaining and link organized labor to violence and sabotage in the public mind.
But that rhetoric had a double edge: During the First World War, radical IWW leaders were accused of sabotaging the war effort and hundreds of members were prosecuted under federal and state espionage and sedition laws.
