Industrial Workers of the World Day, also known as IWW Day, is an annual holiday observed on June 27th in honour of the founding of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), a global union that was established in Chicago, Illinois in 1905.
The IWW was a radical and revolutionary labour organization that sought to unite all workers, regardless of skill or trade, into “One Big Union” and overthrow the capitalist system through direct action, such as strikes, boycotts, and sabotage. The IWW was known for its militant tactics and strong opposition to the established labour movement, which it viewed as too conservative and compromised.
IWW Day is observed by labour activists and advocates around the world as a celebration of the struggle for workers’ rights and social justice. The holiday is an opportunity to reflect on the achievements of the IWW and other labour movements in the fight for fair wages, safe working conditions, and the dignity of all workers.
IWW Day is celebrated through various events and activities, such as rallies, concerts, and educational programs. The day also serves as a reminder that the struggle for workers’ rights is ongoing, and that there is still much work to be done to ensure that all workers are treated fairly and with respect.
