The Industrial Workers of the World, or IWW, is a labor union. Where some unions focus on specific industries or companies, the IWW is open to all workers.
The IWW aims to unite the working class against the bosses & billionaires who exploit us, pollute the world, & terrorize its people with capitalist violence.
As long as you are a worker — not an employer — you can join the IWW.
We accept members of other unions (except officers), students, retirees, the unemployed, the self-employed and freelance, and those in informal professions. Those unable to work may also join. To us, you are all working class.
There is a difference in interests at work between employees and employers. The IWW is closed to bosses, and anyone who has the power to hire or fire employees.
The IWW also does not permit any law enforcement officers, prison guards, or landlords. These positions undermine the power of the working class and are not considered workers by the IWW.
What can the IWW do for me?
Organization: Fight to win better working conditions at your job with the weight of the IWW behind you.
Education: Receive help from our Organizing Department and your other fellow workers in your local branch in building the skills you need to start organizing a union at your job
Agitation: You need a union, and so does every other worker in the world – spread the good word with us!
Solidarity: Be part of something bigger than yourself and your workplace – meet other fellow workers, be supported by them, and support them in turn
Comradery: Find joy with your fellow workers in standing together and fighting for a better world.
Community: Get to know other friendly fellow workers who are invested in building a kinder, a more humane, and a more just future (and who understand the unfair bullshit at your current job).
