Industrial Workers of the World

The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) is a labor union founded in 1905 in the United States. It aimed to unite workers across various industries to promote collective bargaining and improve labor conditions. Unlike many unions, the IWW advocates for the idea of industrial democracy, where workers have direct control over their workplaces. Known for its inclusive stance, the IWW welcomed all workers, regardless of race or skill level. Its motto, "An injury to one is an injury to all," reflects its commitment to solidarity among workers in their struggle for rights and better working conditions.
