Arlington Washington Industrial Workers Of The World Union Real Photo Postcard

The Industrial Workers of the World (I.W.W.), commonly known as the Wobblies, was a radical labor union founded in 1905 in the United States. Advocating for One Big Union of all workers to achieve a socialist transformation of society, the I.W.W. played a significant role in organizing diverse and often marginalized workers, including migratory laborers, loggers, and miners, particularly during the early 20th century. Its influence was particularly strong in the resource-rich regions of the American West and Pacific Northwest.
