“Just two months ago, my union (the United Automobile Workers) did a remarkable thing. It made public its pledge to fight for the rights of autoworkers (not its own dues-paying members, but workers overseas), based on the slogan, ‘An injury to one is an injury to all.’ That slogan has its origins in the radical US labor formation from the last century, the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), also known as the ‘Wobblies.’ The Wobblies were famous for advocating ‘One Big Union,’ uniting workers without distinction, and directly targeting the capitalist system. Its founders 120 years ago included anarchists, socialists, and Marxists.” (10/21/25)
