We are people of diverse races, genders and ages, from every area and country. We have diverse backgrounds and a multitude of different skills, but we have the same goal\u2014to win better conditions at work, and a fairer world tomorrow.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n
<\/div>\n

Many of us work on a casual or part-time basis and many of us are on very low wages. Many of us are women, and are from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. It is from this diversity that we gain strength.<\/p>\n

In the IWW we recognise that division only plays into the hands of those who make their money off our hard work. Many of us are also members of other unions, whose contracts mean workers for the same employer end up in several different unions, forcing them to cross each other\u2019s picket lines and to weaken one another\u2019s struggles. IWW \u2018dual card\u2019 members are actively building militant networks across the divisions that are created by other unions\u2019 structures.<\/p>\n

Today the economy is global. Companies mine minerals in one country, transport them to another to be made into products and to another to be sold. Workers move \u2013 and are moved \u2013 from job to job, town to town and around the world, trying to earn a living and support our families.
\nWhen we\u2019re divided our bosses can exploit this competition, driving down wages and conditions. But we can exploit the constant changes too. United together in one big union<\/a>, we can not only fight and win here and now, but spread our message and build our movement as we move from job to job and country to country.<\/p>\n

The IWW stands for everyone, everywhere, united together in one big union and fighting for change.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Learn more about experiences of resistance<\/h2>\n

Colleagues of the IWW and it’s friends tell us about their losses and wins of their daily workplace organizing and other related topics such as unemployment, migration, sexism and so on.<\/p>\n

What is organizing?<\/h2>\n

We call the systematic building of solidarty together with our colleagues “organizing”. If you will, you could say it they are combined methods of self-organization. What we mean by that we’ll tell you here.<\/p>\n

How to organize your workplace<\/h2>\n

Without strong relations you’re on your own and a better target for the bosses. That’s why we can only change things together. That is easier said than done. We give you some advice for your daily work and the people you can reach if needed.<\/p>\n
