as the title says; a couple came in and mentioned how i was wearing my IWW peet’s labor union pin and had found this one belonging to her mother and needed to give it to me!! anyone know what year this is from?

Does the IWW allow members from the military? I know that the member is not allowed union representation from a union, but as am organizing body, can they take part?

And if so, what is the opinion of the people here about being in a union alongside a member of the military?

Maybe somebody can help me out, I seem to be unable to locate this comic... Was a simple one. Panel comic, on the heavy side of the scale was a fat capitalist pig who was laughing, on the other side of the scale was dozens of workers strung up by their necks.

The General Executive Board meets monthly and members in good standing are welcome to attend with voice but no vote. It starts at 16:00 HT / 17:00 AKT / 18:00 PT / 19:00 MT / 20:00 CT / 21:00 ET / 22:00 AT / 22:30 NT. The link is on the Interwob forum.

We just got the [late] ballots and the GOB [first one since the April one that came out in June.] I haven't read through the whole ballot but it looks like some proposal titles were changed drastically from the originals approved by Convention, and the language isn't the final amended version with original language struck through - it includes things that were proposed amendments at Convention that didn't pass - which is very confusing. "2024 Convention Amended Res for THIRD READING" is the doc that GST should have referenced (Don't share any of this stuff publicly as resolutions are only to be discussed internally unless they pass).

However you feel about this it is good to attend these meetings and ensure we are informed about what is happening at the regional administrative level.

Who’s up late? Only one left: https://store.iww.org/shop/hot-wobbly

Hello, I'm form india, and I've been reading about this organization for over an year. I found out there are no branches of the IWW or any affiliated trade unions in the whole country. So I wanted to ask, how do I organize labor? (I'm gonna get a part time job in a few weeks so, I would like to start contributing)

Anyone in KY on here?

Greetings! As the title suggests I’m looking for podcast and audiobook recommendations about IWW and/or other relevant content. TIA

Hello everyone, I came across this subreddit recently and it seems like I'm very much aligned with the ideas here. As an advocate for worker cooperatives, I am wondering whether this community supports the idea of worker ownership and democratic management in business organisations? Are there aspects of the worker-owned co-op model that you find are or are not in alignment with the values of this group?

Here is a little bit of a summary about what a WC is and some of what the research says:

● WCs are worker-owned and democratically managed businesses where each worker-member has one vote regardless of individual capital investment

● They tend to match or exceed survival rates of conventional businesses

● They tend to be more resilient to price shocks and economic downturns

● They tend to match or exceed productivity levels of conventional businesses

● They tend to have happier and more satisfied workers than conventional businesses

● They display greater levels of employment stability than conventional businesses

● They distribute wealth significantly more equitably than conventional businesses

● The number of WCs has generally been increasing over time

I have seen many posters promoting the IWW around my campus urging me to join but 1. I don’t really know what that entails or what the IWW stands for and 2. I’m not even a worker, I’m a full time student. I was wondering if you guys could fill me in.

For The Humans!

A strike that puts the humans first. Ned Ludd was right!

Is there an age requirment to join the IWW? I am 15 and am a freshmen in highscool, and I am getting a summer job. They are netorius for shitty pay/conditions and I think the support of the IWW would be great so I want to join.
