Founded in Chicago in 1905, the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) is open to all workers. Don’t let the “industrial” part fool you. Our members include the unemployed, teachers, social workers, retail workers, construction workers, bartenders, students, and computer programmers.

Only bosses are not allowed to join.

You have a legal right to join a union and your membership is confidential. It is up to you whether you discuss the union with your co-workers. If you are currently unemployed, you can still join. We are a volunteer-driven union, and this means we, not union bosses, run the union. The IWW is not controlled by or affiliated with any political party or political movement. No money goes to politicians. Membership dues are used to maintain the union and assist organizing campaigns. As a result, monthly dues are low.
