    The IWW has 8,000 members? How long has it been around?

    The UAW has over 300,000. Or the AFL-CIO with 12,000,000 (I know there is overlap there). How do we get those fuckers to strike?

    We really need a general retail strike. There is a Retail workers Union of about 60,000, but over 15 million work in retail. What’s that almost 5% of the population? I’m sure Walmart, Home Depot and Target don’t want us finding out about that union though.

      It’s a miracle the IWW survived at all, with the amount of oppression that was aimed at them.

      The AFL/CIO is a tame union. Better to wildcat than to rely on those corrupt fuckers.
