27 Jun 1905 Jahr - IWW

Beschreibung:

In 1905, a group of radical unionists and socialists in Chicago organized the Industrial Workers of the World
(IWW), or the Wobblies. Headed by William “Big Bill” Haywood, the Wobblies
included miners, lumberers, and cannery and dock workers. Unlike the ARU, the
IWW welcomed African Americans, but membership never topped 100,000. Its
only major strike victory occurred in 1912. Yet the Wobblies, like other industrial
unions, gave dignity and a sense of solidarity to unskilled workers.
