Founding of the Industrial Workers of the World
Trabajo y organización laboral · Sindicalismo industrial · Inclusión y exclusión
The IWW was founded in Chicago with an ambition to organise workers by industry, including many excluded from craft unions. Its programme and reach were contested within the organisation itself; this entry does not make the IWW representative of all U.S. workers.
