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.
