IWW Meeting at Labor Notes Conference
The IWW will be hosting a meeting at the Labor Notes Conference in Detroit. The IWW meeting will take place on Sunday, April 13th at 9:00 am. The meeting will address the issues of direct action organizing, and the role of dual-card members in the IWW. We will also be hosting a literature table throughout the weekend and a Wobbly social, with music by Anne Feeney, on Saturday night. Our ultimate purpose is to attract new dual-card members to the IWW.

Rouge Forum Conference
The theme for the 2008 Rouge Forum Conference is: “Education: Reform or Revolution?” and will be hosted by Bellarmine University in Louisville, KY March 14 – March 16, 2008. Given the recent Supreme Court decision, striking down the local school district’s student assignment plan; the ongoing war(s) in the Middle East; and the consistent environmental degradation of the planet, the 2008 conference will focus on one of the major socializing influences in our lives: Education.

WHO AND WHAT:
During the 1910s and 1920s, most unions, like most institutions, excluded blacks or segregated them, but the Philadelphia waterfront was home to one of the strongest interracial, multiethnic unions ever seen in the history of the United States. However, the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) was ideologically committed to racial equality. More than any other IWW affiliate, however, Local 8 worked to become a progressive, interracial union.
