The IWW is a revolutionary, worker-led global union fighting for improved conditions today and economic democracy tomorrow. We want our workplaces run for the good of workers and their communities rather than for a handful of bosses. By training our members in powerful organizing methods, direct action, and direct democracy, we put power into your hands.
Workers and bosses do not have the same interests, goals, or concerns. We want shorter working hours, higher pay, and better benefits. We want our work to be less interesting, less dangerous, and less destructive to the environment. We want more control over how we produce goods and provide services. We want meaningful work that contributes to our communities and to our world.
We are an active and fighting union. Solidarity is strength, and we prove it every day by looking after each other. We’re not just here to provide a service, we’re here to build a movement, winning bigger and better victories for working people like you as our movement grows in strength and numbers.
The easiest way to improve our lives is to stand up for everyone in our workplaces and our communities. The easiest way to do that is by joining a democratic, worker-led union like the IWW. That is why employers fight tooth and nail to keep unions out. Unionized workers enjoy higher pay, better job security, better benefits, and a safer workplace.
