#OtD 4 Feb 1869, "Big" Bill Haywood was born. A miner from childhood, he co-founded the revolutionary @IWW union. Once remarked: "I've never read Marx's Capital, but I've got the marks of capital all over my body." More about the IWW in our podcast: workingclasshistory.com/2018/05/23/wch…

#OtD 4 Feb 1924 175 @IWW members took on the Ku Klux Klan in Greenville, Maine, after KKK tried to threaten union organisers: "We are going to stick, and if the Klan wants to start something, the IWW are going to finish it". More in our podcast: workingclasshistory.com/tag/iww/

Join and organize with the @IWW! It’s the historic mission of the working class to do away with capitalism and abolish the wage system. Join us, organize with us, and support us so we can accomplish that mission. 🚩 #1u #IWW

Hey greater Seattle fellow workers. There's a screening of Matewan happening on Capital Hill this week. Matewan is a film from 1987 starring Chris Cooper as an IWW dual-carder. We'll have a table. Details Here: siff.net/year-round-cin…

Great reporting but it seems a trend is setting in w/ labor stories & Coronavirus where workers outside scope of paid sick leave eligibility—domestic workers, freelancers, sex workers, undocumented labor—are left out of policy discussion entirely. No mention of these people here.

Reporters can’t let, either consciously or unconsciously, feckless democratic leaders narrow scope of labor debate to those formally on the grid. There are millions who fall outside the scope of paid sick leave or paid time off and they need to be addressed in this reporting

instructions were unclear, accidentally signed up my co-workers for the iww (credit to Target Workers Unite for the photo)

Can we all agree now that there’s no such thing as “unskilled labor”?

Tune in tomorrow as we talk to reps of the IWW Freelance Journalists Union about their win - securing 150k in unpaid invoices, & how it happened. 9:30am CST on 92.5FM/770AM WVNN in the greater HSV area. You can listen online on our YT channel: youtube.com/channel/UCiLKI…

Do it MLK Labor crosscut.com/2020/06/labor-…

10/10 will retweet your best dunk on AFL CIO for not kicking out the cop unions. Some favs:

“We’re the ones who made the food, nows the time that we eat too!” Rehire union @VoodooWorkers and stop union busting Voodoo Doughnut

Glad to see MLK Labor taking this action. Cops, who bust unions and have a long history of brutalizing working class people, are not workers. crosscut.com/2020/06/king-c…

Wobbly artist Carlos Cortez was born on this day in history, August 13, 1923. Below are just a few of his many pieces of artwork that inspire IWW members to this day. Read his obituary here: archive.iww.org/history/biogra…

A breakdown of Jen’s termination. Jen spoke up for the group and was fired for doing so. There are no preceding incidents. Just one unfortunate event. #endthelockout #theseeds #iww #1u #1bu #cfliww

Fellow workers encouraged to apply. Great way to learn the job if you're thinking of running for General Secretary-Treasurer someday!

Chair of our Organizing Department, Maxim Baru, discusses what a union is and what makes the IWW unique. m.soundcloud.com/whatsleftofusp…
