Industrial Workers of the World (IWW)

The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) is a labor organization founded in 1905 in the United States. It aimed to unite all workers, regardless of skill level or job type, to advocate for better working conditions, wages, and rights. The IWW is known for its radical approach, supporting direct action, such as strikes and boycotts, rather than traditional union methods. Their slogan, "An injury to one is an injury to all," reflects their belief in solidarity among workers. The IWW played a significant role in early 20th-century labor movements and continues to promote workers' rights today.
