IWW:N Esittely

Direct Action Gets the GoodsTyöväenluokalla ja työnantajaluokalla ei ole mitään yhteistä. Mitään rauhaa ei voi olla niin kauan kun nälkää ja puutetta on olemassa miljoonilla työläisillä, ja niillä harvoilla, jotka muodostavat työnantajaluokan, on kaikki elämän hyvyydet. Näiden kahden luokan välillä täytyy taistelun jatkua niin kauan kunnes maailman työläiset järjestäytyvät luokkana, ottavat haltuunsa maan ja tuotantolaitokset, poistavat palkkajärjestelmän ja elävät sovussa luonnon kanssa.

Me huomaamme, että teollisuuksien johdon keskittyminen yhä harvempiin ja harvempiin käsiin tekee ammattikuntaliitot kykenemättömiksi pitämään puoliansa työnantajain luokan yhä kasvavaa valtaa vastaan. Ammattikuntayhdistykset pitävät yllä sellaista asiaintilaa, että se katkeroittaa yhden työläisjoukon toista vastaan ja siten auttaa tuhoamaan toinen toisensa palkkataistelussa. Tämän lisäksi ammattikuntaliitot auttavat työnantajain luokkaa johtamalla työläisiä siihen harhaluuloon, että työväenluokalla ja työnantajaluokalla on yhteisiä etuja. Tämä asiantila voidaan muuttaa ja työväenluokan edut säilyttää ainoastaan siten muodostetun järjestön avulla että kaikki työläiset yhdellä teollisuusalalla, tai kaikilla aloilla, jos välttämätöntä, lakkaavat työstä milloin lakko tai työsulku on julistettu jossakin järjestön osassa, siten tehden loukkauksen yhtä vastaan  loukkaukseksi kaikkia vastaan.

PRINSIPPERKLÆRINGEN TIL INDUSTRIAL WORKERS OF THE WORLD

Posted Sun, 05/22/2005 - 11:59am by webadmin

Arbeiderklassen og arbeidskjøperklassen har ingenting felles. Fred kan ikke råde så lenge nød og savn finnes blant millioner av det arbeidende folk, og de få, som utgjør arbeidskjøperklassen, har alle livets goder.

Mellom disse to klasser må det pågå en kamp til verdens arbeidere organiserer seg som klasse, tar produksjonsutstyret i besittelse, avskaffer lønnsarbeidet og lever i harmoni med jorden.

Sentraliseringen av industriens ledelse på færre og færre hender setter fagforeningene ute av stand til å mestre arbeidskjøperklassens stadig voksende makt.

Fagforeningene fostrer en tilstand, som tillater en gruppe arbeidere å bli satt opp mot en annen gruppe arbeidere innen samme industri, og bidrar følgelig til, at de beseirer hverandre i lønnskriget. Fagforeningene hjelper dessuten atbeidskjøperklassen a spre troen blant arbeidere; at arbeiderklassen har interesser felles med deres arbeidskjøpere.

Disse forhold kan bli endret og arbeiderklassens interesser opprettholdt bare av en organisasjon formet på slik måte, så alle dens medlemmer i hvilken som helst industri, eller om nødvendig, i alle industrier, nedlegger arbeidet når som helst en streik, eller lockout pågår i noen av dens deler. Slik blir en urett mot en, en urett mot alle.

Phone Zap! Demand Sisters' Camelot Turn Over Info On Back Wages

Posted Wed, 05/22/2013 - 3:23pm by x359437

The Sisters' Camelot Canvass Union is asking supporters to call/text/email the remaining Sisters' Camelot collective members demanding they turn over information regarding their contractually owed back wages. For weeks, the striking canvassers have been confronting their bosses requesting this information. The wages owed to them come from their share of online donations. The collective has not paid the canvassers share of these funds since October 2012.

1. Ask they turn over information for online donations and 'call backs' to the Canvass Union.

2. If they say they don't have access to the information because the only person with access has not been responding to other collective members phone calls for the last several weeks, remind them they can contact PayPal and Network for Good themselves requesting access to the information.

3. If they say the canvassers contracts do not explicitly say they are owed these funds, remind them this has been policy at Sisters' Camelot for many years, regardless of how vague the contracts are worded.

Chevron: Actively preventing a transition to renewable energy.

In 1950, Chevron, General Motors, and Firestone were charged and convicted of criminal conspiracy for their part in the General Motors streetcar conspiracy. In this scandal they purchased streetcar systems all over the United States in order to disassemble the industry and create bus lines. They did this to increase the demand for petroleum, automobiles and tires so that they could directly receive business and profits from their scheme.  Later Chevron began investing in alternative industries such as lithium car batteries. Chevron began to be limiting access to large NiMH batteries through its control of patent licenses. Many suspect they did this to remove a competitor to gasoline and suspicions were affirmed when Chevron began a lawsuit against Panasonic and Toyota because they started producing EV-95 batteries for electric cars.

Direct Action Gets the Goods in Greensboro, NC!

Posted Mon, 05/13/2013 - 9:29pm by x359437

From greensboroiww.org

Last week, the Greensboro IWW achieved a swift and valuable win that illustrated the power of solidarity and direct action. A branch member had been unjustly fired from his job at New York Pizza on Tate Street in Greensboro, North Carolina. This fellow worker was owed more than $1100, including unpaid overtime and off-the-clock work, as well as money that was improperly deducted from his pay for rejected food and register shortages.

On Monday, May 6th, this fellow worker, accompanied by another branch member, delivered a letter to the boss from the Greensboro IWW, demanding payment in full by Friday. The branch was prepared to leaflet and picket at the location if our fellow worker did not receive his wages in full.

London IWW: "End Metroline race to the bottom: Reinstate Oscar Alvarez now!"

Posted Wed, 05/08/2013 - 7:33pm by x359437

From iww.org.uk

We, the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) want to express our deep concern and strong condemnation of the unfair dismissal of Oscar Alvarez, Union Representative of the IWW at the West Perivale garage.

Oscar Alvarez has been a London bus driver for 8 1/2 years. He reached the 10th position nationwide in Blackpool Best Bus Driver of the Year 2007 competition, which to date is still unbeaten by any Metroline driver. But Oscar’s sacking is far from being an isolated occurrence. This is part of an escalating wave of sackings on the buses over the last few years, which has seen all London bus companies imposing terrible contracts on new starters, often without union agreement or any serious attempt to fight this ‘race to the bottom’.

Reinventing the Wheel - The REAL Green Jobs Story

In the accepted limits of debate in Washington and Wall Street the main argument by proponents of the fossil fuel industry is the same as its always been: do you want to protect the environment or create more jobs? They argue expanding fossil fuel exploitation, in spite of the proven risks to the environment and public health, is necessary for the sake of job creation. By building Keystone XL across the Great Plains, opening the Powder River Basin to coal interests, expanding offshore drilling, and opening up new lands to fracking the fossil fuel dinosaurs claim our economy will recover & energy independence will be achieved. When confronted with the facts on clean energy sources like wind and solar power fossil fuel proponents argue clean energy is too expensive. They claim it would not be cost-effective to build a green energy economy and that it would lead to a decline in standard of living.

Quite contrary to the boldest of claims made by those dinosaurs the facts show shifting to a clean energy economy would create more jobs, cost less money, and easily exceed all performance needs. Research by the Renewable & Appropriate Energy Laboratory at University of California, Berkeley shows the fossil fuel industry's claims of better job creation rates compared to green, clean energy are vastly overblown. As shown in this chart below renewable energy sources produce as many if not more jobs per megawatt of capacity as traditional dirty sources of electricity:
