Industrial Workers Of The World

Abstract: 6 pages in length. The very reason the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) came into existence was in order to call forth "that spirit of revolt and resistance that is so necessary a part of the equipment of any organization of the workers in their struggle for economic independence" (St. John, 1917, p. PG). While labor unions may have already been in existence during this time, there was an integral component conspicuously absent from the manner by which they operated, pointing to a severe separation between the working class and the employing class. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
