The International Workers of the World (IWW)

The International Workers of the World (IWW), also known as the Wobblies, is a labor union founded in 1905 that advocates for workers’ rights and industrial solidarity. It seeks to organize all workers, regardless of trade or skill level, to challenge unfair working conditions and corporate power. The IWW promotes direct action, collective bargaining, and revolutionary change to establish a more equitable economy. Known for its inclusive approach and emphasis on worker unity, it historically played a significant role in early 20th-century labor movements and continues to support workers’ struggles today.
