| | Industrial Workers of the World - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Beides IWW's traditional practice of organizing industrially, the Union has been open to new methods such as organizing geographically such as seeking to organize retail workers in a certain business district, as in Philadelphia. | | | IWW membership does not require that one works in a represented workplace, nor does it exclude membership in another labor union. | | | Even though mid-century historians would give credit to the US Government and "forward thinking lumber magnates" for agreeing to such reforms, an IWW strike forced these concessions. |

| | Industrial Workers of the World: a history to remember |
| | Because of their impoverished constituency and low membership fees, the IWW had to rely on dedicated activists rather than salaried bureaucrats. | | | Although these struggles were over purely economic demands, capitalists pressured the government to suppress the “German-influenced saboteurs” of the IWW. | | | During the period before WWI, a period of high employment generated by a growing economy, IWW membership peaked at more than 100,000. |

| | Another IWW member, Ralph Chaplin, wrote "Solidarity Forever," now recognized as the premier rallying song of American labor. | | | Martyrs to the cause, such as Frank Little and Joe Hill, added mystique to the IWW. | | | Unlike the AFL which organized workers by skill, the IWW envisioned organizing workers by specific industry, regardless of the job performed. |

| | Now, they could do better but, nevertheless, we would be very bad off if we didn't have the labor movement as we have it today and with struggle, undoubtedly, it will improve. | | | Now, the IWW was really not persecuted because of their opposition to the war. | | | The AFL organizers all turned over their bonds, their Liberty Bonds, to the IWW Defense Committee and many an IWW was bailed out as a result, although that wasn't known for many many years. |

| | 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. | | | The Industrial Workers 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. | | | 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. |

| | Their official name was the Industrial Workers of the World, started in Chicago in June of 1905 by Big Bill Haywood of the Western Federation of Miners, and others who were dissatisfied with the lack of progress of the little old craft unions under Sam Gompers' American Federation of Labor.... | | | They were a defiantly radical group, mostly anarchist-syndicalists of a sort, and they argued bitterly with socialists as to the value of trying to elect working-class congressmen. | | | Their idea was to ultimately sign up all the workers in One Big Union, improve their conditions, and eventually call a general strike to decide who was going to run the world -- the workers or the bosses. |
