The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) differed from other labor unions primarily in its radical approach and inclusive membership policy. Unlike many traditional unions that focused on skilled workers and specific trades, the IWW sought to unite all workers, regardless of skill level, gender, or race, under the banner of industrial unionism. The IWW advocated for direct action, including strikes and sabotage, as a means to achieve workers' rights, emphasizing the use of revolutionary tactics to dismantle capitalism. This contrasted sharply with the more conservative and negotiation-focused strategies of many other labor organizations at the time.

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.

During World War I, various labor unions played significant roles in supporting war efforts and advocating for workers' rights. Notable examples include the American Federation of Labor (AFL), which worked to secure better conditions for workers and supported war production. The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), although more radical, also contributed by attempting to organize workers in war industries despite facing government repression. These unions helped shape labor relations and policies during the wartime period.
