The IWW (Industrial Workers of the World) has union a courageous and heroic history. Formed in America over 100 years ago, it had hundreds of thousands of members at the start of the 20th century.

The IWW still exists today and is attracting much attention as a fresh example for the 21st Century. In America the Union has even succeeded against Starbucks. You don't have to be an 'Industrial' worker to join, and the Union has no links to political parties.

The Bi-lingual English / Welsh website has links to some great YouTube films, and it is hoped that the site will help raise interest in order to establish a branch in Wales in the near future
