Contemporary IWW

Contemporary IWW (Industrial Workers of the World) is a labor union founded in 1905 that advocates for the rights of workers across industries. It promotes solidarity, fair wages, and better working conditions through collective action and direct struggle rather than relying solely on legal channels. The IWW seeks to empower workers to control their workplaces and resist unfair practices by emphasizing unity and activism. Today, it continues to organize diverse workers, including those in underrepresented sectors, aiming for economic justice and workers’ self-management within a broader movement for social equality.
