IWW (Industrial Workers of the World)

The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), founded in 1905, is a labor union dedicated to uniting all workers to promote workers’ rights and improve working conditions. Unlike traditional unions, it advocates for revolutionary change, aiming to overthrow capitalism and establish worker control of industries. The IWW promotes solidarity, direct action, and workers’ self-management, focusing on inclusivity across industries and skill levels. Its goal is to create a more equitable economic system where workers share in the profits and decision-making of their workplaces.
