Talk:Industrial Workers of the World/Archive 1

2223:'A struggle is going on in the nations of the civilized world between the oppressors and the oppressed of all countries, a struggle between capital and labor, which must grow in intensity from year to year and work disastrous results to the toiling millions of all nations if not combined for mutual protection and benefit. This history of the wage-workers of all countries is but the history of constant struggle and misery engendered by ignorance and disunion; whereas the history of the non-producers of all ages proves that a minority, thoroughly organized, may work wonders for good or evil. Conforming to the old adage, 'In union there is strength,' the formation of a Federation embracing every trade and labor organization in North America, a union founded upon a basis as broad as the land we live in, is our only hope.' 1514:

what I think was done methodologically for that GOB reference earlier, is probably not the best measurement. It also contradicts the members stated on the union's LM-3 form for the 2005 fiscal year. Also, that 908 figure is lower that it should be because General Headquarters moved in January, and it slowed down dues processing during that same period, while records were transferred from Philadelphia to Cinci. Also, I do not believe the membership reports were recorded from the ROCs in the UK and Australia, which only report quarterly. Add another few hundred right there. I would go with the LM-3 figures, and just note that membership is difficult to definitively ascertain because the IWW doesn't do dues check-off. A more accurate method would be to count members in any 3-6 month period.

description. Anarcho-syndicalism is what I was taught when I entered the organization in 1995, and it is what almost every member I encountered proclaimed themselves to me to be during my entire tenure with the IWW. The symbology of the IWW is most often unmistakably anarchistic: the Black Cat of Sabotage (the 'Sabocat', an enduring IWW symbol) as well as the persistent red and black star of anarchosyndicalism are mainstays of Wobbly art and visual identification. Occasionally one will meet individuals in the IWW who may identify themselves as 'Trots', or socialists; this is true. The Wobbly who recruited me into the organization referred to himself as a 'council communist', but always immediately went on to explain that this philosophy is essentially identical to anarcho-syndicalism.

1705:

IWW, the Salvation Army and the Spokane political establishment gives a slightly different picture: "In 1908, in response to growing protests by the Wobblies against employment agencies, Spokane passed an ordinance forbidding street meetings in business districts. The Salvation Army complained that once again it was being forced off the streets, the avenue central to its work. The city then amended the ordinance in the summer of 1909 to allow the Salvation Army to preach and hold street meetings. The Wobblies howled in protest and started a band of their own. They took the lyrics of a few of the Salvation Army's most popular songs and changed them to fit their own perspective."

2927:(sub-minimum) to, currently, eighteen dollars per month. (There are current proposals to increase the higher rates, but the overall structure is not likely to change). The minimum rate is extended not only to working people with jobs, but also to those who have been laid off, those who are unable to find jobs, and those who are still in school (workers in training). For the three dollars a month membership fee, a member receives monthly issues of the union newspaper, copies of the General Organizing Bulletin, ballots, and special notices, not to mention all rights of membership. The cost of postage and printing alone are probably not fully covered by three dollars per month. 3885:. So why does the membership here reflect the list of members who are currently caught up with their dues? I can give at least two objections I have to this. First, it falsely implies that the relationship of the IWW to its membership is similar to that of the trade unions, based on money and economics, and that simply isn't the case. And second, it's really no one's business but that of the Wobs themselves how many of our members are currently paying dues; that's private information and I don't think it should be publically displayed on Knowledge (XXG). The number should reflect the ACTUAL membership numbers of the IWW, regardless of dues status. 3533:-- At times in the past, it has been necessary to split out information from the IWW article because the organization has been around for more than a century, has been involved in a lot of world history, and there is way too much information for one Knowledge (XXG) article. The proposal to add more to an already comprehensive article would simply aggravate that situation. Meanwhile, i agree with what has been stated above. The slogan appears to have originated with the IWW, but it is true that many organizations have either adopted it as their own, or have made use of it in their literature and signage. 2121:

identify how many of those 2000 are current or behind in their membership dues. If they were ALL behind in their membership dues they are still members and I don't think the avergage reader is going to be interested in how many pay their dues on time versus those members that are tardy in paying up. This is like saying Visa has 2000 card holders, but only 900 pay make their payments on time. Does anyone have an objection to removing the "members in good standing" bit? Again, I do not see the relevance and it appears to me to be a source of confusion.

2144:

signed such a contract. However, in general, mainstream unions routinely sign no-strike clauses, and IWW branches almost never do. What does this mean in practice? That the IWW "resists the standard business union practice of selling labor peace to the bosses." All IWW members try their level best to maintain the freedom to walk off the job in support of fellow workers who may depend upon such an action. In short, the IWW is as much an attitude about the relationship between labor and capital, as it is a union.

3905:

microscopically tiny number of contemporary sentimental cranks. Nobody in the early 21st century outside of a tiny, tiny number of active members of the current-day version of the IWW actually believes that the contemporary version of the IWW is even remotely the same social phenomena as the early 20th century IWW. As it stands now, you might as well categorize this version of the history of the IWW alongside entries from true believers in Bigfoot, Flying Saucers and the Loch Ness monster.

2939:

who join at subminimum dues because they cannot afford to pay more. In short, the IWW doesn't want anyone to be unable to join because they cannot afford dues, and if a union that focuses upon the exploitation of real workers can utilize the habits of folks in the existing society (valuing and having discretionary income to spend upon unnecessary hats, buttons, yo-yos, t-shirts, whatever) can be put to use to subsidize such memberships, then what could make more sense?

3708:, but this is largely a result of lack of interested people to make entries rather than a dearth of material. Many past shops of the IWW have been notable in their own right apart from the larger organization and deserve an entry. Plus, with organizing activity set to explode dramatically in every direction (This IS why dues were substantially increased, right? Right?) there will no doubt be piles more notable Wobbly shops in the offing. -- 31: 2315:

have difficulty paying their dues on time. Many IWW members are frequently in arrears, paying dues when they can, but never able to get completely caught up. The union tends to be very understanding about such circumstances. That doesn't mean these members are any less dedicated. I think i could call any number of IWW members and tell them about a job action where workers need support, and they'd all be there in a minute, paid up dues or no.

2907:

that feat hasn't been accomplished yet, and that a semi-large organization is expensive to run, therefore they are still forced to work within the current system, but that sure is a nice little profit. The reason I bring this up, is if it caught my attention I would think that it has been addressed before, and was wondering if anyone had any verifiable info of previous criticisms. I haven't found any yet. Or maybe I just don't get it.

2018:"Syndicalists and radical unionists, such as James Connolly in the UK and Ireland have remained close to the IWW in the USA. Although much smaller than their North American counterparts, the BIROC (British Isles Regional Organising Committee) reported in 2006 that there were nearly 200 members in the UK and Ireland. Numbers have been steadily increasing since the 1990s, and in the year 2005-2006 numbers leapt up by around 25%." 3637:

Instead of money and ownership controlling everything, i believe Wobblies would generally agree that enterprises should be locally controlled in democratic fashion by the workers themselves, and that the workers should be free to decide how much to invest in their cooperative enterprise, how much to pay themselves, and what rules (other than payment of wages) would govern inclusion and participation by other workers.

538:

organizational skills learned from those radical groups. In any case, I suggest you add in a sentence to the intro so we can move towards taking the NPOV tag off. It'd be more productive to agree to disagree and collaborate on a neutral final product than ideological sparring. In the meantime, what was that Malcolm X said, something about if it weren't for us radicals, you moderates would get nowhere.

1920:

but obviously relied on Leier for its source and agrees with his conclusion. Personally, this article is very American-centric, so I think the Vancouver reference adds some balance, especially since the wobs were extremely active in the Pacific North West. Plus I live in Vancouver, and this is my way of resisting American Imperialism (but don't tell that to the NPOV wiki-police).

3459:

think this should be a redirect to that section and the contents merged, and then we'd have something more interesting than either of them. If not, the content should be removed from the IWW article and added here, and the IWW article should link to this one, and then this would be more than a stub. By the way, neither version has mentioned that Bill Haywood said that

really inarguable, but barring specific citation it could be taken as a POV. In addition, their tactics were not 100% non-violent even though their acts of violence were almost always in response to violent actions taken against them. Beyond that this section matches well with every book of IWW history that I've ever read. Perhaps simply changing the first line to

484:. Around 2,000 vigilantes (Bisbee Loyalty League; Businessmen's Protective League) herded 1,386 strikers onto 23 railroad boxcars, shipped them to the Mexican border to die (but they lived). Only 426 strikers were IWW, but the largest percentage of any IWW nationality was Mexican. According to Felix Frankfurter (who 'mediated') half of the workers were foreign-born. 1248:...while the I. W. W. has no logical place in a purely syndicalist and anarcho-syndicalist International, the entrance of a larger number of industrial unions into it would alter its character of "purity", and would transform it into something like the I. W. W., where anarchists, socialists and other ists can work together in harmony, for a common program. 2966:

respect for the organization tenfold and I will be joining this week. Admittedly, I should have done a bit more research. Or used a bit more common sense. It probably wouldn't hurt for the site to have a version of what you said on the store section nonetheless. I'm not the only one who can be judgemental and paranoid, but essentially mean well. Thanks!

123:

reductionist, but I don't see what the author is getting at in saying this about Landrum-Griffin. Is it the trusteeship provisions? If so, he's barking up the wrong tree, since Landrum-Griffin did not introduce trusteeships, but only put some limits on them. This is the sort of language that should be edited out or clarified. Italo Svevo

can) and delete the Mexican-American role section. Although it's a very significant part of American history, there have been many, many, many causes supported in the American Southwest and elsewhere by the IWW, and not all of them deserve to feature prominently in the discussion page here--otherwise it would be thousands of pages long!

153:

example) Trotskyists and others who would be most offended to be described as anarcho-syndicalists. However there are people calling themselves anrcho-syndicalists in the IWW who regard their IWW activities as thier syndicalist practice. I'm a current member of the IWW and an ex-member of the one-time Australian section of the IWA.

to a Chinese being unable to pronounce W which is nonsense, Cantonese lacks the R sound, but W is no problem for any Chinese I have met. If the Chinese was learning to read and had not yet mastered the names for all the letters, he might well have seen W as the wobbly letter. "Are you eye wobbly wobbly" Is then IWW.

'Big Bill' Haywood responded for the IWW, announcing at a Carnegie Hall meeting .. that if Congress declared war on Mexico, the IWW would 'automatically start the greatest general strike this country has ever known.'

3760:-The latter sentence here reads like an effect of the cause of the former ie. the novel caused the wave of incitement (unverifiable and opinion, POV) More importantly, characterization in a novel does not amount to repression. If the implication is that the novel led to actual repression, that may be unjustifiable. 1030:

G.?) who married a Welshman so she could have a British passport, (Ken John's PhD thesis Greenwich University). Sam's IWW nephew of the same name considered Syndicalism was when the Workers took over and ran the factories, and anarcho indicated a leaning rather than a tight dogmatic Marxist type authority.

2285:

is called dues checkoff. The checkoff means that the company automatically collects dues from union members by deducting it from their paychecks, and then hands the dues money over to the unoin. IWW members are so strongly opposed to dues checkoff, that it is actually prohibited in the IWW constitution.

3636:

If the wage system was abolished, it would have to be replaced with something else. While i don't think there is any consensus within the IWW on issues such as competition, "free enterprise", or the existence of corporate type entities, Wobblies view the leverage of existing capitalism as a negative.

2965:

I had no idea that the membership was so low for those who couldn't pay (and those that can for that matter)... I have been looking to join the IWW, I believe very much in their values and goals, and the online shop was the one question left. You have not only answered that question, but increased my

2938:

The IWW hats are generally very high quality, i've owned several. But the hat is not in any way essential to membership; it is like a trinket, and happens to be in some demand because of the IWW's colorful history. The sales of such unnecessary accoutrements helps to subsidize real, low-paid workers,

2880:

is approaching the need for its own article, with just a summary on this page. Most of the content would focus on 1907-1920. There is some evidence there was a resurgence in IWW activity in the early 1930s. Yes, Ian Turner (historian) is notable enough to have their own wikipedia page. Another highly

2294:

What system does the IWW employ in place of dues checkoff? It is called the job delegate system, and it was developed in 1915-1917 by the AWO, or the Agricultural Worker's Organization of the IWW. It involves an individual IWW member going around to visit each other IWW member, and asking them to pay

2254:

This has been a devil's bargain. Unions that sign such contracts with the corporations are put into the position of becoming enforcers for the company. If workers find their wages, hours and conditions so unsatisfactory that they're willing to risk a walkout during the life of the contract, it is the

2153:

What difference does that make? When i was at IBEW, we worked in the same building with CWA, and the CWA contract expired first. IBEW members were forced to cross CWA picket lines, and do some of the work that the strikers had stopped doing. That is generally referred to as union scabbing, and such a

1565:

Just curious why it is even important that the members are or are not in good standing within the organization? Most organizations mentioned in Knowledge (XXG) are not required to list the number of members who have not paid their dues current to the present moment. It seems absurd and trivial. It

1513:

I wouldn't put it that way at all. 60 days after dues are due for a month, if one has not paid, one has no right to vote in union elections per the Constitution. But yes, there are many members who pay a few months at a time, sometimes ahead, and sometimes behind. So looking at one month, which is

1161:

Need we remember that every one of those Socialist founders had quit the organization within three years? Or that Haywood was thrown out of the SP for his "promotion of sabotage," which is shorthand for "membership in the IWW," and his cooperation with Lenin in the USSR is suspect at best. The IWW

1068:

BTW, I'm not saying you're wrong because I don't claim to know much about the IWW, I just want to see a source before you take out info that has been in for a while. I know that there is at least some relation between the IWW and anarcho-syndicalism, so please give a source to back this up. Thanks. I

The following sentences, located in the Organizing section, are not sourced: "The IWW lumber strike of 1917 led to the eight-hour day and vastly improved working conditions in the Pacific Northwest. Even though mid-century historians would give credit to the US Government and "forward thinking lumber

551:

Agreed. And when the IWW called for abolishing communism, how is that really different from right-wing groups calling for abolishing socialism (as in Social Security)? Wobs argued for nonviolent, legal change most of the time. Arguing that they should have expected repression is like saying that the

Early in the Mexican Revolution of 1910-1917, the IWW actively mobilized against threats by .. Taft to send in

168:

should there be a article separate from the main article on the IWWs involvement around the world? There is no mention on this page of wobblies Canada, Mexico, or Germany, past or present. There should be a place about current campaigns in Canada (Like the Ottawa Panhandlers union) and the creation

3962:

In addition, I do not understand the sentence "Between 2001 and 2003, there was a marked increase in UK membership, with the creation of the Hull GMB". Hull GMB is a part of of the Midlands and East Coast Region of the GMB union - one of the UK's leading trades unions and nothing to do with the IWW.

3876:

There's been a slow-boiling edit war for a period of years over the IWW's membership numbers, and I'm trying to understand why this number is there at all, at least in the form it is. Whether or not you are currently paying dues, you remain a member of the IWW until such time as you relinquish your

is a complete waste of time and should be a redirect, and someone (but not me) should be having this same discussion over there. 2) This article at present is a sub-stub and should be merged on principle. 3) BUT: The IWW article already discusses the slogan in a reasonably detailed section. So, I

2716:

The practice of dropping references to "sabotage" in articles about the IWW creates a hot-button situation; the IWW defined sabotage somewhat differently than does mainstream society, and that should be addressed when passages like this one are inserted. In any case, there were probably thousands of

2304:

The job delegate system is old-fashioned, awkward, clunky and slow. But it has one significant benefit beyond keeping union money out of the boss's hands. Every member who pays dues has the ability to talk to the delegate about wages, working conditions, hours of work, and other concerns, every time

2284:

There is an important practical aspect of this philosophy. Since the IWW believes that the corporations are conducting what amounts to a class war against working people, it stands to reason that IWW members won't stand for what has become the routine practice of virtually all business unions, which

2072:

I'm not part of the labour union project, but IWW is "high" in importance IMO, far more so for its past than any current influence, which seems to be quite minimal. It is high not only for its early 20th century size and influence, but also how it created in many American minds a perception for good

1485:

The question is which membership number to use in the article, the total ~2000 or the ~900 in good standing. The article has gone back and forth between the two for the past few months. I'm going to put in both, with a note about the requirements for good standing, and would appreciate a note here

1039:

Please stop mentioning that the IWW is an example of "anarchosyndicalism in practice" or things like that, the IWW is NOT an anarchosyndicalist organization, in fact all of the first General Executive Board members were also in the Socialist Party!! I am a libertarian socialist, and while the IWW is

Finally (speaking as metallurgical non-expert, not citing from article anymore), the story about silver mining is not disproven by this sort of thing. The deportation train was paid for by Phelps-Dodge, but I think different metal deposits are often co-located. Also, labor relationships were very,

Wasn't this organization founded for, or at least largely by, the Mexican-American miners of Arizona in the early 1900s (who, among other things, faced segregation, poor housing, and a dual-wage system, often in towns owned/ran entirely by mining companies) ? If it wasn't founded for that, it was at

For example this sentence: "More recently, IWW members were involved in the Liverpool dockers' strike that took place between 1995 and 1998, and numerous other events and struggles throughout the 1990s and 2000s, including the successful unionising of several workplaces, such as support workers for

3954:

Until I read this section, I had no idea that the IWW still existed in the UK, nor did any of my colleagues and friends within the trades union movement that I have asked since then. Whilst it is, of course, important to record that the organisation does still exisit, I feel that this section needs

3904:

Perhaps the wikipedia entry on the Industrial Workers of the World should be divided into two articles. One, a dispassionate examination of the IWW as an actual social phenomenon of the early 20th century. And then, the version currently displayed on wikipedia. This version is credible only to a

3812:

Someone has nominated the list of notable IWW union shops for deletion, and I'm concerned that the decision of whether or not to keep the list will be made by people who are not familiar with the 105 year history of the IWW. I'd appreciate it if some folks with knowledge of the subject could weigh

3598:

To members of the IWW, the wage is not equivalent to pay. The wage connotes that portion of the monies generated by an enterprise that is handed over to working people to purchase their hours on the job. The wage is significant to Wobblies in particular for what it fails to include, and that is the

2862:

All the above comments were mine, not all are signed due to some glitch or another. I've just substabtially rewritten the Australian section, based on Ian Turner's (histroian not footballer) account as referenced. There needs to be a separate article on Tom Barker too. His dictionary of biuography

2264:

But not the IWW. The Preamble of the IWW Constitution retains all of its class analysis and fire-breathing rhetoric from the very first convention in 1905. The IWW will never find itself in the role of enforcing company rules against the workers, for the IWW is a worker's union. It is controlled by

2244:

All of the AFL unions over the years softened the rhetoric of their Preambles, with their most immediate goal of signing contracts, to the extent that they became almost cheerleaders for corporate control. They found signing contracts and locking up a dues base to be preferable to waging a tireless

262:

The article says "The origin of the nickname "Wobbly" is unclear. Some believe it refers to a tool known as a "wobble saw", while others believe it is derived from an immigrant's mispronunciation of "IWW" as "eye-wobble-you-wobble-you"." The previous story on those lines that I heard attributed it

3563:

shows that at least one person read "they contend that the wage system should be abolished" as "they contend that all workers should be paid the same amount", which isn't the same thing at all. Perhaps we need to un-jargon that a bit (do most people even understand what "the wage system" means?).

2917:

I think that you have essentially stated the answer. The IWW exists within a system that values profits, and enshrines the wage system as an essential mechanism to insure that profits may be distributed upward. The IWW values things differently, but for the near-term must still operate within that

2906:

I may be way off base, but the wobb site is asking for 15 dollars American for an IWW hat on the website (as an example). It seemed a bit hypocritical to charge well over production cost for an item that advertises for an organization whose stated goal is to overthrow capitalism. I understand that

2143:

The Industrial Workers of the World is a very different sort of union from the mainstream unions that so many folks are familiar with. A couple of examples. The IWW doesn't believe in signing contracts with no-strike clauses. Not that it is unheard of, there is at least one IWW job branch that has

2120:

As is we have the number of members @ 2000 and "members in good standing" @ 900. I am not sure about the wisdom of identifying how many members are in good standing. That seems like an internal IWW issue that doesn't belong here. If they have 2000 members the article should reflect this and not

1919:

I changed that the SF socialists arguement was the most believable, because it aint. Mark Leier describes his extensive search for a verifiable answer, and sticks with the Chinese restauranteur theory, but admits that it is unverifiable. The other source cited here gives the various explainations,

1419:

The early ideas about the IWW's philosophy are quite clear. To those who suggest that this main IWW article ought to purport that the organization is in some sense syndicalist or anarcho-syndicalist, i am not aware of even one modification of the IWW constitution that has embraced such a change of

1128:

While one may argue that the IWW is an "anarcho-syndicalist" union, it is not explicitly so and never will be. The reason for this is that the IWW aligns itself with neither political ideologies nor political parties. There are anti-capitalists of all stripes in the IWW; aligning itself with any

1078:

If you look at the 1905-1924 or so Wobbly literature, you will see that they were as anti-socialist as they were anti-Salvation-Army. Some members and leaders may have been socialists but officially they didn't see replacing capitalist bosses with government bosses as being any real solution. Many

The IWW had nearly 700 of their organisers convicted in US Courts of 'Criminal Syndicalism' and they were locked up for ten years. That was what broke the back of the Union for so long. Sam Mainwaring who coined the phrase 'Anarcho-Syndicalism', according to a trouble making American woman,(Emma

931:

To the end of promoting industrial unity and of securing necessary discipline within the organization, the IWW refuses all alliances, direct or indirect, with any political parties or anti-political sects, and disclaims responsibility for any individual opinion or act which may be at variance with

366:

Having reviewed the IWW's website, I find no mention of silver mining. Apparently it was not as instrumental in this organization's history as I thought it was! I would like to leave these comments up for a little while so those keeping score can figure it out--then I'll come back (or someone else

3579:

Yeah, I agree, I don't think most know what that means. Whenever I've brought up the subject with anyone they seem to think it's synonymous with difference in income. In fact, when I try to explain people generally don't understand the concept of not having wages, they simply can't get their head

2314:

Now i want to talk briefly about the red card. To every IWW member, the red membership card is sort of sacred, almost like a religious icon that denotes not just membership, but common cause with all other working people. Yet the IWW is to a great extent a union of the working poor, the folks who

1704:

Can anyone provide a source to back up the claim about "management sending in the Salvation Army band to cover up the Wobbly speakers"? There doesn't seem to be any consensus on this in the online sources I can find on the subject, and the most detailed account I did find of relations between the

1570:

This organization takes note of which members are in good standing, most do not. Also, it is saying that a member is not in good standing if they have not been active for a period of two months, there is no reference to 'the recent past', it's like saying that a magazine subscription will run out

633:

The only line that I can see as being even arguably 'non-factual' would be the first for containing the clause "The effectiveness of the IWW's non-violent tactics..." This implies that the IWW as a labor organization, and their tactics at the time were effective, which from my study I find to be

567:

In addition a quick look at membership statistics for the AF of L shows a sharp decline following the the war. They fell from 5 million members in 1920 to 3.4 million by the end of the decade. This severe membership decline during the "post war boom" is evidence of a general assualt on organized

3626:

What the IWW Preamble refers to as the wage system, therefore, is the collection of laws, management practices, enforcement agencies, courts, and government oversight that perpetuate the existing unequal employer/employee relationship. Abolishing the wage system, in essence, means abolishing the

2949:

Also consider, the IWW attempts to insure that all such goods are union-made. Since unions generally gain higher wages for their members, that tends to make the hats just a little more expensive. It is a good bargain for all of us, because it not only helps those who create the hats, it helps to

I was the one who originally decided to report two numbers. I did so in order to end edit-warring last spring and summer over which number to use in the article -- the 2000 that was originally there (at least when I started watching it) or the 900 that was reported in the general organizational

2185:

The IWW has a Preamble that acknowledges the stark differences between the workers and corporate owners. As a matter of interest, the old AFL started out with a similar Preamble. Back in the middle of the industrial revolution, it was quite obvious to most working people what the exploitation of

1879:

As for the IWW being 'currently' headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, that is somewhat accurate since the location of the headquarters DOES change with the election of each new Secretary-General. For example, for many years, through the 1980's and 1990's, the HQ was located in Ypsilanti, Michigan

152:

The problem lies in disputed definitions of anarcho-syndicalism. The IWW differs in its organizational practices from the International Workers Association (IWA), and some would regard the practices of the IWA as definitive of anarcho-syndicalism. Furthermore the IWW is in principle open to (for

This article includes the following paragraph, "In the early 2000's the IWW organized Stonemountain and Daughter Fabrics, a fabric/seamstress shop in Berkeley. The shop has remained IWW and contracted through today." I am unclear as to the meaning of the second half of the second sentance. It

Alright, to bring this full circle. The membership of a business union is precise, tracked week by week, computerized. The current membership of the IWW depends upon the many job delegates out there who may have difficulty filing their own reports on time, because they're not paid by the union.

Can't someone come up with good articles for many of the famous songs, Salvation Army-related or not? Songs like "Union Maid" and "I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night", especially? I'm not a Wobbly, but these songs had an indisputible impact on American history, and are much more deserving of

The term "notorious" seems sort of POV and the sentence itself is somewhat misleading. I think if the article is going to imply Starbucks refuses to allow its employees the ability to join a union a citation is in order. Especially since there are numerous Starbucks employees that are in fact

close to anarchosyndicalism, and in my view very uncorruptable with its present constiution etc., I repeat, it is NOT an anarchosyndicalist organization, and it is misleading (and damaging to the organization!!!) to write it is an example of "anarchosyndicalism in practice" or stuff like that.

I first became aware of a very different sort of union after having spent twenty-five years in the IBEW, an AFL-CIO union. I attended an IWW general membership branch meeting, and the workers there were talking about how the union could best make use of someone's life savings, that they had

1869:

I couldn't agree more about describing the IWW as "famous" - I found the word immediately distracting. If the IWW didn't have some kind of fame, it wouldn't deserve an article. Seems to me that the job of an article is to explain why a subject is significant, rather than just saying that it

Abolishing the wage system does not mean abolishing pay. Rather, it means ending the employer/employee relationship as it currently exists, and which allows employers to routinely appropriate all generated wealth over and above labor costs (and other expenses) for themselves. This includes

That misses the significance of the IWW completely, as their influence goes well beyond their numbers in the period before the 1930s. Moreover, the CIO didn't exist until 1935, long after the wobs went into decline, and many joined the communists, who in turn inject some energy and applied

One point puzzles me: the statement that "After the passage of the Landrum-Griffin Act in 1959 by the US Government (which essentially legalized purges of leftist union leadership) . . ." I can understand making this comment about the Taft-Hartley Amendments of 1948, although even that is

As a former member of the IWW and the last secretary of the Allentown, Pennsylvania branch of the IWW before its closure, I can tell you this: the IWW certainly espouses anarcho-syndicalism, and such is the identity of the overwhelming majority of Wobblies that it certainly justifies the

Of course an organization that calls strikes as "direct action" for its stated aim of abolishing capitalism is going to be "repressed" by the government. The intro should mention, aside from an "internal split" and "government repression," that the IWW was always marginal compared to the

While the article is obviously written by a member or sympathizer, and accordingly tends to overstate the present importance of the organization, that doesn't offend me, even if it is not a NPOV. Later additions will flesh out the earlier history, which matters more.

As someone who has been heavily involved in the UK labour movement for the past 30 years, I have to take issue with the tone of the "In the UK" section, which seriously exaggerates the importance of this organisation within the UKs modern political landscape.

User:disbomber is correct about the Mexican-American history, although I think the connection is stronger during 'later' years of the IWW. From its start, IWW included many immigrants: discussion in 1905 Chicago founding conference about calling each other

I think Richard was correct to remove the previous section, only because it was not sourced and therefore comes off like original research. Vert et Noir, do you have any sources/cites to support the notion that the Wobblies advocate anarchosyndicalism?

I am not the one who decided to report two numbers, one showing currently paid up membership, the other showing those who hold red cards. But i understand why it is a better reflection of the actual numbers of individuals committed to this organization.

Another theory is that it was a term coined in San Francisco or Seattle (I forgot where) by an owner of a Chinese resturant where Wobs used to gather. The owner could not pronounce his W's correctly so he called the group wobbley's. And so the name just

to put it into context. With a membership of around 400 people UK-wide, a low profile, and no TUC (Trades Union Council) membership, it does not wield the influence nor have the recognition in the UK that the language used in this section implies.

I could probably dig out a source if I still have my old folder o' stuff, but it was definitely part of Wobbly folklore that this happened. As for finding another source, I suspect you could dig something up out of Google's new academic services.

3315:

That's a bold accusation. I contest it. I submit that a merger proposal to merge a slogan associated with the IWW to the IWW is perfectly reasonable. Further, it is interesting that a request for sources has drawn an accusation of 'stalking'.

2712:'s biographer notes that he "regarded the Wobblies as a welcome addition to the Socialist cause, although he never joined them in going so far as to recommend sabotage." She mentions a personal meeting between London and Big Bill Haywood in 1912. 3699:

They are typically regarded as an anarchist organization, so the template might belong. I won't re-insert it though without support from someone else, because it is questionable. I did add anarcho-syndicalism to the see also section though.

Compare the subminimum cost, three dollars per month, to the hundred or two hundred dollar dues payments assessed by many other unions. You can see that the IWW is intent upon lowering all barriers to membership among the most exploited

Is it actually relevant to include a whole paragraph about the Lexington Avenue bomb? Out of, what, four conspirators, one of them was an IWW member, and nobody's claiming it was officially ordered or sanctioned by the IWW as a whole.

Finally, the sentence "2006 saw the IWW formally registered by the UK government as a recognised trade union" is misleading. Registration is self-nominating and implies nothing other than statutory legislation compliance.

1414:. If we add "revolutionary" to distinguish our philosophy from the structural principles adopted in adulterated form by the CIO, we are still in accord with an expression used by early exponents of IWW'ism. 1118:"socialist". As for political orientation, the IWW rules and regulations state that the IWW is strictly non-political. The IWW is forbidden to endorse any political candidate or any political point of view. 1452:
