Industrial Workers of the World
The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) is a labor union founded in 1905 in Chicago, Illinois. It aimed to unite all workers, regardless of their trade or skill level, to promote workers' rights and improve working conditions. The IWW is known for its radical approach to labor organizing, advocating for direct action and solidarity among workers.
The IWW's motto, "An injury to one is an injury to all," reflects its commitment to collective action. Throughout its history, the IWW has been involved in various labor strikes and movements, including the famous Lawrence Textile Strike of 1912. The organization continues to exist today, focusing on social justice and workers' rights.
