Notice to all IWW members and supporters!
Submitted by IWW.org Editor on Mon, 02/13/2012 - 12:25pm
Early in the morning on February 7, 2012, there was a fire in the apartments above the IWW General Headquarters in Chicago.
The damage has left the building uninhabitable and we are unable to perform everyday operations. We believe damage to GHQ's files and equipment will turn out to be quite minimal, as we only suffered minor smoke and water damage.
We are already looking for a new location and hope to have GHQ up and running as soon as possible.
In the meantime, we will do our best to respond to the needs of the greater union, but our accessibility is limited and delays will be inevitable. We are asking that everyone remain patient while we assess damages and find a new home for GHQ.
Thanks and Solidarity,
Sam Green,
General Secretary Treasurer,
Industrial Workers of the World.
