Industrial Workers of the World One Big Union

Our goal is to achieve industrial democracy, where all workplaces are run democratically by the people who work in them. No longer will our lives be ruled by employers and speculators who are only interested in obtaining a profit for themselves.

Industrial democracy does not mean that the IWW itself will run industry, for industry will be run directly by the people working in it. IWW methods, tactics and ways of organising are simply the means of winning control of industry from our employers.

Democratically run industry will lead to a more just and equitable distribution of wealth. The days of workers slaving away for a minimum wage to enrich someone else will be history.
