Labor unions today: "we'll help you organize and take the legal steps to get fair treatment."
Labor unions in 1912: "take this rifle. If your boss doesn't comply with our demands, shoot him and blow up his mansion."
One of these two approaches gets immediate results.
I mean that’s the question isn’t it? How do we show workers that it’s in their best collective interest to organize together?
Besides the IWW, do you have any recommendations for other unions like it? I’m more midwestish if that matters.
