As promised, on this episode we have special guest FW Lindsay to talk about how the IWW has become a very white-facing organization and what kind of questions we should be asking ourselves to make sure all workers feel welcome in the one big union.    So listen in and if you want to be a part of that future and join in the one big union, or just have questions for us about organizing your workplace, reach out at [email protected] and remember, an injury to one is an injury to all.

On the latest from the Service Industry Workers of the Ann Arbor Area (SIWA3) livestreams, we cut together two livestreams into one jam-packed episode. First, we talk about the future of our local dining establishments in a post COVID world before switching gears to the mental health struggles working in the service industry can lead to. It's a big episode. Enjoy! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/iwwypsi/message

This time on the show, Daric and Jason discuss the long history of the antifascist work the IWW is involved in and how, as an organization, we are inherently antifascist. We also talk about the GDC and how we must be on guard more than ever. Let's organize and beat up some Nazi scum!   So listen in and if you want to be a part of that future and join in the one big union, or just have questions for us about organizing your workplace, reach out at [email protected] and remember, an injury to one is an injury to all.

We are spreading our wings a bit today by expanding the podcast beyond our monthly chats. This first expansion is a recording of the Service Industry Workers of the Ann Arbor Area (SIWA3) livestreams they do over in their Facebook group. They are concise presentations of problems facing the service workers of today. Today's talk is about the problems and history of the tip wage system and the rampant problem of wage theft.

In this episode, Fellow Workers Daric, Alec, and Jason do our best to differentiate the IWW from traditional trade unions. While any union is better than no union, there are still some big differences that set us apart from the rest. So listen in and if you want to be a part of that future and join in the one big union, or just have questions for us about organizing your workplace, reach out at [email protected]!

On this episode, Fellow Workers Daric and Jason continue in that long left-wing tradition of discussing what we are doing wrong. While we both love the IWW, we do have some feelings on what we as an organization could be doing better and where we'd like to see Wobblies in the years to come. So listen in and if you want to be a part of that future and join in the one big union, or just have questions for us about organizing your workplace, reach out at [email protected]!

In our second episode, Jason, Daric, and Nick discuss the most powerful tool workers have in the struggle against bosses, the strike. We go over what a strike is before diving into a current debate within The IWW over no-strike clauses in contracts. No matter where you fall on the debate, if want to join up in the one big union, or just have questions for us about organizing your workplace, reach out at [email protected]!

Here for the first time are a few Fellow Workers from the Ypsilanti Branch of the Industrial Workers of the World. What better way to start then to explain what exactly that means.
