Description
Welcoming women, Blacks, and immigrants long before most other unions, the Wobblies from the start were laborās outstanding pioneers and innovators, unionizing hundreds of thousands of workers previously regarded as āunorganizable.ā Wobblies organized the first sit-down strike (at General Electric, Schenectady, 1906), the first major auto strike (6,000 Studebaker workers, Detroit, 1911), the first strike to shut down all three coalfields in Colorado (1927), and the first āno-fareā transit-workersā job-action (Cleveland, 1944). With their imaginative, colorful, and world-famous strikes and free-speech fights, the IWW wrote many of the brightest pages in the annals of working class emancipation.
Wobblies also made immense and invaluable contributions to workersā culture. All but a few of Americaās most popular labor songs are Wobbly songs. IWW cartoons have long been recognized as laborās finest and funniest.
The impact of the IWW has reverberated far beyond the ranks of organized labor. An important influence on the 1960s New Left, the Wobbly theory and practice of direct action, solidarity, and āclass-warā humor have inspired several generations of civil rights and antiwar activists, and are a major source of ideas and inspiration for todayās radicals. Indeed, virtually every movement seeking to āmake this planet a good place to liveā (to quote an old Wobbly slogan), has drawn on the IWWās incomparable experience.
Originally published in 1964 and long out of print, Rebel Voices remains by far the biggest and best source on IWW history, fiction, songs, art, and lore. This new edition includes 40 pages of additional material from the 1998 Charles H. Kerr edition from Fred Thompson and Franklin Rosemont, and a new preface by Wobbly organizer Daniel Gross.
