IWW
Perhaps the most socialist of the labor unions is the Industrial Workers of the World, the IWW.
Yes you can. Most IWW members are 'dual carders', being both members of the IWW and their industry specific trade union. While the IWW are cool with this, Unison bosses (and many of the mainstream union bosses) are certainly not, and there have been witch hunts in the past to expell know radicald from Unison. Don't let that deter you though, just don't go round shouting about your IWW membership to the Unison leadership! With membership on the rapid rise, and groups of IWW workers winning some decent vocitories, there's never been a better time to join the One Big Union!
The iww was led by William haywood!
