WHAT DOES INDUSTRIAL WORKERS OF THE WORLD MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Industrial Workers of the World

Industrial Workers of the World

The Industrial Workers of the World, commonly known as the Wobblies, is an international revolutionary industrial labor organization that was formed in 1905. The origin of the nickname "Wobblies" is uncertain. The IWW promotes the concept of "One Big Union", contends that all workers should be united as a social class and that capitalism and wage labor should be abolished. They are known for the Wobbly Shop model of workplace democracy, in which workers elect their managers and other forms of grassroots democracy are implemented. IWW membership does not require that one work in a represented workplace, nor does it exclude membership in another labor union. In the 1910s and early '20s, the IWW achieved many of their short-term goals, particularly in the American west, and cut across traditional guild and union lines to organize workers in a variety of trades and industries. At their peak in 1923, IWW membership has been estimated at about 40,000. However, the extremely high rate of IWW membership turnover during this era makes it difficult to state membership totals with any certainty, as workers tended to join the IWW in large numbers for relatively short periods.
