Inland Empire IWW

Inland Empire IWW This is the page for friends and supporters of the Inland Empire IWW We are the Industrial Workers of the World because we organize industrially.

The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) is a member-run union for all workers, a union dedicated to organizing on the job, in our industries and in our communities. IWW members are organizing to win better conditions today and build a world with economic democracy tomorrow. We want our workplaces run for the benefit of workers and communities rather than for a handful of bosses and executives. T

his means we organize all workers producing the same goods or providing the same services into one union, rather than dividing workers by skill or trade, so we can pool our strength to win our demands together. Since the IWW was founded in 1905, we have made significant contributions to the labor struggles around the world and have a proud tradition of organizing across gender, ethnic and racial lines long before such organizing was popular. We invite you to become a member whether or not the IWW happens to have representation rights in your workplace. We organize the worker, not the job, and recognize that unions are not about government certification or employer recognition but about workers coming together to address common concerns. Sometimes this means refusing to work with dangerous equipment and chemicals. Sometimes it means striking or signing a contract. Other times it mean agitating around particular issues or grievances in a workplace or industry. The IWW is a democratic, member-run union. That means members decide what issues to address, and which tactics to use and we directly vote on office holders, from stewards to national offices. Why wait? Join the IWW and organize for a better future.

"The actions of the marshals enabled the arrests. It is important that public marches be open to all who wish to participate without fear of state harassment, repression, and persecution. Above all, no one should be singled out for arrest based on their residency status—especially at a march against deportations. Given the historical legacy of May Day, it is crucial that anti-authoritarian and dissenting voices not be silenced by the state or its collaborators. If organizers expect broad participation at marches in the future, they must ensure that marshals do not aid in arrests and that solidarity with anyone who may be arrested is allowed. The IWW will always stand by the principle that an injury to one is an injury to all."

Fellow Workers,

The 2014 IWW Labor History Calendar focuses upon low-wage workers’ organizing, with 13 photos covering workers’ struggles from 1909 to 2013, including a protest march by Bangladeshi garment workers days after the largest industrial “accident” in that industry’s sordid history. We have added several new notes commemorating important dates in labor history from around the world, and an essay that reflects on recent struggles by low-wage workers for safer conditions and a living wage.

This year's calendar is published in cooperation with the Greater Kansas City General Membership Branch, which will be filling orders. The calendar is union-printed by a worker-owned cooperative, bearing the Allied Printing Trades and IWW union labels.
