Biographical History
The IWW is a labor organization dedicated to uniting laborers around the world into a single large union.
Established in Chicago in 1905 by sponsors of socialism and the remnants of previous labor unions, including the Knights of Labor, Western Federation of Miners and the American Labor Union, the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), or "Wobblies", evolved into a radical industrial union which waged campaigns for improved working conditions, wages and hours of work, as well as workers' control in mines, mills, lumber camps and factories.
The I.W.W. was a socialist industrial group formed in Chicago in 1905 which aimed to unite all workers into one industrial union, abolishing craft lines, wages and the employer.
BIOGHIST REQUIRED The Industrial Workers of the World (I.W.W.), also known as the "Wobblies", is international union founded in 1905.
BIOGHIST REQUIRED The I.W.W. formed in reaction to the AFL's perceived failure to effectively organize the working class in a spirit of revolutionaly solidarity and class-consciousness. Claiming that "an injury to one is an injury to all", the I.W.W. wants to directly confront the ruling-calss. The I.W.W. sees workers as a class ineluctable at odds with the ruling, capitalist class. Through effective organization and strikes the I.W.W. wants to bing about the overthrow of the capitalist ecomonic structure and replce it with a just, cooperative economic and social structure.
BIOGHIST REQUIRED As the I.W.W. wab-site states: "Between these two classes a struggle must go on until the workers of the world organize as a class, take possession of the means of production, abolish the wage system, and live in harmony with the Earth."
Radical labor organization.
Formed in Chicago in 1905 by the Western Federation of Miners, other labor groups, Eugene Debs and Daniel De Leon. They chose to use a strictly non-political approach and to organize the disenfranchized. Post war suppression weakened the organization, but it still exists, but with few members.
