/r/IWW
The 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.
The working class and the employing class have nothing in common. There can be no peace so long as hunger and want are found among millions of the working people and the few, who make up the employing class, have all the good things of life.
Between these two classes a struggle must go on until the workers of the world organize as a class, take possession of the means of production, abolish the wage system, and live in harmony with the Earth.

Read: "An increased cost of living is good because if you are lucky, you might receive a salary increase to compensate for this general price increase! 😁". Price inflation is an induced problem - the salary increases are demanded in order to cope with this problem.

Looking for a wobbly organized job in Chicago
Does anyone know about any job openings in workplaces organized with the IWW? I'm currently working as a warehouse associate at Amazon and just have warehouse and retail experience, and I'm really getting tired of busting my ass for their profits. I want to work somewhere with respect and solidarity between workers, and I know in an ideal world I'd be able to organize that kind of thing in my own workplace, but we all know how Amazon feels about unions, and my commute is currently over an hour so I don't know how long I'll be able to stay at that location anyway.

What happened with GCIWW and Kelsey Tanabe Walker?
I was an active GCIWW member for a while before I moved, and I've spoken with figures like Kelsey at length before. Now I'm seeing that Kelsey resigned and Ken is acting GST?

You may have seen this image of Elon Musk's Nazi salute projected onto Tesla's Gigafactory in Berlin . . . But you may not know that last year, anarchists occupied the adjacent forest to block the expansion of the Gigafactory and used direct action to shut down electricity to it.

What's up in Australia?
What's up with the union in Australia? The Brisbane branch seems to be in some sort of frozen war with the AUS-ROC (https://seqldiww.org/legitimacy-vs-aus-roc/). They have a whole list of grievances, and I haven't seen anything at all about it anywhere else. Anyone have any information on what the heck is happening?

I think my son just wobbled his middle school
New principal started the new semester and changed passing periods from 7 minutes to 5. For the band students this was very tough because their instruments are stored in one part of the school, the band classroom is in another part and then kids are also all spread out.
So my boy started talking with other students and found out several were getting write ups for being late. After finding out so many students had problems he tried to talk to principal and principal said they should be able to get place to place in the 5 minutes.
So my son then started a petition which got close to 100 signatures to change the 4 passing periods that involve the band class hours. Then he managed to convince all these students to not come into their classrooms until the time that they used to be expected to be to class, the original 7 minute passing period.
That happened on Friday and the principal called him into his office. He told him that he now understands how hard it was to get from place to place and that he will change the 4 periods back to 7 minutes.
I was so proud you can’t even imagine. It was such a huge victory and I was trying to explain then why I support my union so much. I immediately got on website and ordered him the agitate, educate, organize shirt. I got myself some stuff too!! IBEW 271

IWW in Cincinnati
I recently joined the IWW, and I’m looking to get involved. I’ve reached out to the Ohio Valley GMB a few times, but no one seems to be monitoring that email.
Are there any active Wobblies in the Cincinnati area?
