Hurrah for the Wobblies! «
The American Spectator is full of it here. Red or not, the IWW (unlike other stagnating unions) is at least showing some relevance in the face of rampaging globalization by trying to organize retail/service sector McJobs. Good for them!
Workers at some of America’s fast food restaurants could be in for some interesting times soon. The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) is attempting to unionize several Jimmy John’s sandwich stores in the Minneapolis area. The IWW’s campaign against Jimmy John’s could be the start of organizing efforts at several other restaurant chains. (Today, only 1.3 percent of workers in the food service industry are union members.) This should concern not only restaurateurs, but also consumers and young workers.
