Who Can Join the IWW?
From IWW.org
As long as you are a worker — not an employer — you can join the IWW. Members of other unions (except officers), students, retirees, the unemployed, the self-employed, those in informal professions, and those unable to work may also join. To us, you are all workers.
There is a difference in interests at work between employees and employers. Even if someone doesn’t own the business, if they have real hiring and firing power over other workers then they count as an employer to us.
By restricting our membership to only workers we make it easier to act in solidarity with other people at your job and improve your working conditions. If you are a worker then you belong in the IWW with us!
To join the South Carolina General Membership Branch you must live or work in the state of South Carolina or around the city of Charlotte, North Carolina.
Sign up through Red Card on the IWW website below!
As soon as the national membership coordinator communicates your membership to us we will reach out to loop you into our branch.
