The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) was founded in 1905 in Chicago, largely in response to the struggles and exploitation faced by workers during the rapid industrialization of the United States. The organization aimed to unite all workers, regardless of skill level, race, or gender, in a single union to advocate for better working conditions, fair wages, and social justice. The IWW emphasized direct action and solidarity, promoting the idea that workers should take control of their workplaces. Its formation marked a significant moment in the labor movement, challenging the more conservative approaches of existing unions.
