	Industrial Workers of the World - By Joyce L. Kornbluh
		IWW graphics and IWW cartoons set new standards of excellence and are admired by professional artists and art historians as well as the politically engaged.

		IWW strike techniques, the sit downs, pioneered in Schenectady (1906), the chain picketing in Lawrence, Massachusetts (1912), the car caravans in Colorado (1928), and other innovations-once considered revolutionary, became the practice of the labor movement in general.

	Elizabeth Gurley Flynn - Rebel Girl
		Well, those are the initials for the Industrial Workers of the World which used to be called the "I Won't Work" which was extremely incongruous because actually the people who belonged to the organization were in the basic, most difficult hard-working industries of our country.
		To call it the workers of the World was rather an ambitious name as actually it never did go beyond the confines of the United States and it grew out of the desire of American workers to continue the traditions and the form of organization of the old Knights of Labor.
		To the IWW a revolution meant that you take over the factories, and the shops and the mills, and the mines and the fields and you chase the bosses out, just chase them out, and that was the end of it.

	Monthly Review June 2005 Paul Buhle
		Industrial unions themselves were, in the Wobbly vision, to be the building blocks for the future cooperative society.
		Still, the IWW survived, led scattered strikes, conducted a vigorous propaganda campaign for industrial unionism, and invented or reinvented the sit-down strike (with workers occupying the plant rather than leaving it to the care of the owners) as well as many other tactics of community mobilization.
		This was the IWW world in miniature, a workers’ society run by itself—although organizing it and keeping it going sometimes distracted from actual organizing in the fields.
