Hey, y'all, some of the other subs I'm in have been dealing with an uptick in censorship on posts about immigrant rights, ICE raids at work, etc. In an attempt to get ahead of the curve here, I wanted to state on the record that our stance on these issues has not changed:
1: We believe workers' rights are human rights. We don't care where you're from, who you love, your gender (or lack thereof), or what shade of brown your skin is.
2: Human rights are non-negotiable, and none of us are free until all of us are free. If you have a problem with that, GTFO.
3: Posts about ICE raids or policies/plans for dealing with them will NOT be removed by the moderation team here at r/IWW.
4: This sub is for everyone. Hate speech will not be tolerated in the least, and neither will any attempt to throw our Fellow Workers under the proverbial bus.
I'd also like to mention that if anything starts getting removed, IT WAS NOT US. If you notice censorship taking place, please let us know ASAP. So we can take steps to fix it.
Thank you, and have a fantastic day!

As far as I'm aware nobody at ORD is under the IWW. The only unions I know that operate in the airport are SEIU, UNITE HERE, and IAM

I’ve been a Wobbly for 6 years now and my card finally gave up the ghost and snapped in my wallet. How do I go about getting mine replaced? I’m at large right now so don’t have a local I can talk to about it.

I wanted to share this piece about a part of Appalachian history that I don't think we should ever let disappear.
In 1989, more than 2,000 UMWA members went on strike against Pittston Coal. It became one of the defining labor battles in modern Appalachian history, bringing thousands of miners, families and supporters together.
One of its most memorable moments came at Moss 3, where 99 miners occupied the preparation plant for four days.
During current times, just a few years ago, when a landfill for out-of-state trash was proposed for that same site, miners, UMWA members and local residents came together again, this time to protect a place that had become part of our labor history.
And they WON against the corporate giant.
For a lot of people in Appalachia, union history isn't something that happened somewhere else. Our fathers, grandfathers, neighbors and friends lived it. The wages, benefits and working conditions many working families eventually gained didn't just appear. Somebody had to fight for them.
That's a history worth remembering, regardless of where you stand politically.
I'd especially like to hear from folks with connections to the coalfields:
Do you or your family have memories or stories from the Pittston Strike or the UMWA?

Connolly was the first piece of radical writing I ever read. I can’t imagine how I’d view the world without him.
