The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) is a trade union with a rich history and somewhat unique approach to worker solidarity, in that its mission has been to create One Big Union that all workers can join. Today it is not unusual for IWW members to be member of their own trade-specific union as well as the IWW.

Although the IWW’s heyday was in the 1910s and 20s, the union continues to do important and effective work today, winning some notable victories for workers in the UK in recent years.

The National Secretary of the IWW, Dave Pike, introduces the fighting union, what it stands for and how it is winning victories for the working class - like higher wages for cleaners, permanency for temps and safety at work for fast food workers.

The IWW organise so that workers can win for themselves and are not reliant on union full-timers or politicians to fight for them. Come along to this event and find out a little about the IWWs history, what the union is doing in Europe and around the world, and how you can get involved.
