INDUSTRIAL UNIONS in the IWW
|
|
|
|
These are the Industrial Unions (IU) and Departments in the
|
|
IWW. This chart helps
|
|
to visualize the practical method for all workers of the world, of
|
|
all occupations, to unite into one great organization of the
|
|
working class.
|
|
The IWW is more than a simple federation of Industrial
|
|
Unions. All are members of, and participate directly in the mass
|
|
organization. Within this One Big Union, workers are grouped
|
|
according to the affinity which arises from having a common
|
|
industry and common workplace. In all cases the dividing lines are
|
|
based on what is most practical. Members can transfer freely from
|
|
one IU to another when they change jobs. Many people work in more
|
|
than one industry at the same time.
|
|
The Job Shop or local General Membership Branch is free to
|
|
make its own decisions and bylaws, as long as these do not
|
|
conflict with rules made by the IU or the IWW. The Industrial
|
|
Union is free to make its own decisions and bylaws, provided they
|
|
do not violate the IWW constitution.
