hey Natalie, question: why IWW and not AFL-CIO?

Well, my take on the issue is:

The IWW is more democratic, a much better "baby's first org" for aspiring rabble-rousers, more in line with my personal politics, and imo better suited to organizing in today's precarious and unstable employment environment. The AFL-CIO is a federation of business and craft unions and so is plagued by the same problems as any similar institution and might be of limited utility to workers in underlooked industries.

However, because of its horizontal structure and simply because the IWW is smol, it operates more as a "build your own union" kit than a big institutional power you can lean on, and more union is always better than less union, so I'm a big believer in what we call "duel carding." Rabble-rousing is one of those things you learn by doing (insert that Trotsky quote about horseback riding here) and seeing things from both sides of the fence, as it were, can only make you a better organizer.

Tl;dr the AFL-CIO is a corrupt gang of establishment Democrats, so you should join the IWW, but at the same time the IWW is a disorganized confederation of cranks and weirdos, so you should join the AFL-CIO.

📰 The latest from the Industrial Worker: Contracts are not Class Struggle

By: Jay Bettencourt

From the very beginning, labor law was written in order to destroy workers’ most powerful weapon, economic disruption.

The idea that the law exists to protect workers and “protect the right to organize a union” is a comforting fiction told by mid-20th Century liberals and exemplified by the New Deal compromise between capital and labor that was brokered by the state.

Obu then proceeded to ramble on about the MANY different things he loves about his wife, which are also the most simplest facts about said wife.

Oh hey look, my first ever REAL propaganda post! (?)
