Is the IWW an actual union, or just a group of left-wing agitators?
Please explain the difference.
They’ve been around for awhile.
They never amounted to much except in the lumber camps of the NW.
More pie in the sky stuff.
Definitely socialist.
They were called “Wobblies”.
Looks like they are professional rabble-rousers.

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 IWW’s Stance on Ecology - 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.
IWW were some of the original Union organizers in the early 1900s in the pacific NW. Back when unions were actually needed.
These guys are pretenders at best.
