One Big Union

We organise across all industries and all jobs. Unlike Trade Unions that split workers
along the lines of their job role, the IWW brings all workers in a workplace together,
fighting with the combined strength.

Fighting for ourselves

Direct action by workers on the shopfloor is the beating pulse of our union. The strike is
a well-known tactic in industrial disputes, but it is not the only one. Our members use a variety of actions at work to make positive changes.

Member-led

IWW is a democratic and volunteer organisation. All of our workplace unions and
campaigns are 100% run by the workers themselves. We don’t have bosses and
bureaucrats on big salaries; all decisions are made by those who carry them out.
