Wobblies

The Wobblies, officially known as the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), are a labor union founded in 1905 focused on uniting workers across industries to improve working conditions, fair wages, and workers’ rights. They advocate for direct action, collective bargaining, and sometimes strikes to challenge exploitation and inequality. Known for their inclusive approach, they aimed to organize workers regardless of race or skill level, emphasizing solidarity among all workers. The Wobblies have historically played a significant role in labor movements, promoting class consciousness and social justice within the workforce.
