The IWW is a fast growing network of militants across the country. We have active campaigns around the National Blood Service and Starbucks. Our largest networks are in the health service and education. We were active in the successful campaign to save Crichton Campus, our involvement in which reinvigorated the campaign and led to its success. We have active job branches in Glasgow, Leicester and Birmingham.

Our ethos is working together, operating on a basis of self-help and mutual solidarity.

Good luck on your meeting - good to see the IWW getting organised in more and more places across the country, and in more industries. In these times of party-political shenanigans it is good to see people focussing on the good old basics - unity, solidarity and class struggle.

Ordinary members are fed up with their unions

Good luck. You should focus on ordinary members in the following unions:-

USDAW
UNISON
NUT
CWU

As these unions have a very close relationship with NuLab through their political funds. Their ordinary mebers are often fed up witht the leadership but feel powerless to change them. UNISON is even persecuting its own activists that don't toe the line with help from managment. UNISON leaders also tried to block the march in London about the NHS. They are scabs and deserve to be treated as such.

There is a good chance to organise with people working in health, local government, teaching, and the posties so that they can have proper fighting unions. People are fed up to the back teeth with wage deflation and cost of living inflation.
