The working class and the employing class have nothing in common. There can be no peace so long as hunger and want are found among millions of the working people and the few, who make up the employing class, have all the good things of life.

I am trying to join the closest one in my area. I am hoping they will accept me, because the IWW is so cool and historical. I would be so proud.

AN ACT OF VICTIMISATION
(From the London Regional Secretary, Industrial Workers of the World)The Industrial Workers of the World Cleaners and Allied Grades Branch
Secretary Alberto Durango was today sacked from his job at the Heron Tower by the contractor Incentive FM Group Ltd. It is an act of victimisation of a leading union activist well known for campaigning to defend and improve the conditions of workers in the cleaning industry.In August 2011 IWW secured a significant success on the London Living Wage for cleaners at Heron Tower and in defence of victimised staff. Since then there have been those seeking revenge against Alberto and the IWW. In November 2011, Alberto was suspended for using a service lift used daily by other staff. The same month IWW negotiated an agreement with the cleaning contractor LCC that there would be no compulsory redundancies and any staff reductions would be by transfers to alternative posts.
A new contractor has taken over at Heron Tower who has not recognised this agreement which continues under TUPE. Incentive have singled out Alberto for redundancy without any objective justification.
The company Cushman & Wakefield who manage Heron Tower also manage Exchange Tower where IWW has a campaign for the London Living Wage. This company had taken an excessively aggressive stance against IWW and our members, preventing leaflets being distributed and threatening IWW memberswith investigations.
The Industrial Workers of the World is based on the principle that an
injury to one is an injury to all. We call on all workers to show their
solidarity with the Cleaners Branch Secretary and demand the immediate
reinstatement Of Alberto Durango and no compulsory redundancies

Are there any fellow workers in the Agriculture industry in the area of Floyd County, Virginia? Roanoke is an hour's drive north from where I live. Feeling a bit adrift without a local, since I left Richmond.

The ordinary and every day life is sometimes more important than the big ideas of our times. Bread and Roses and sometimes bread is the key factor.
