Tulsa GMB IWW

The Tulsa General Membership Branch (TGMB) is a solidarity-powered fighting labor organization that is committed to the defense and advancement of the working class. The TGMB seeks to improve the working conditions and labor standards for all our fellow workers hard at work for the employing class. We stand ready to fight for increased wages and respect on the job. We are committed to building up our strength and our numbers until that glorious day when we throw off our chains and begin, finally, to work for ourselves.

Wobblies in Seattle have taken on the first question. Wanting to build organizing skills and fight back against bosses and landlords in their area, they started the Seattle Solidarity Network (‘SeaSol’).

The Food and Retail Workers Union was founded in October of last year and brings together several IWW-led campaigns, such as the Jimmy Johns and Starbucks Workers Union. The former is notable for blowing the whistle on a Minneapolis-St. Paul Jimmy Johns store’s policy of not allowing paid sick leave. In April, a federal judge found the store guilty of illegally firing six union organizers for leaking that information.
