What is Industrial Workers of the World Day?
Industrial Workers of the World Day on June 27 marks the founding of the IWW in Chicago in 1905 — the union that pioneered 'industrial unionism,' organizing all workers across an entire industry rather than dividing them by trade. Famous for the rallying cry 'an injury to one is an injury to all,' the IWW shaped modern labor through landmark struggles like the 1912 Lawrence Textile Strike. The day honors both that history and the often-invisible industrial work that keeps society running today.
