Workers of the World (IWW). The IWW was a small but vocal radical labor union that hoped to unify American workers in âone big union,â irrespective of their particular jobs, gender, or race. Its motto was âAn injury to one is an injury to all.â At its peak in 1923, the union claimed 100,000 members, commonly known as Wobblies, and could marshal the support of some 300,000 more, mostly workers on the docks and in mines, lumbering, and textiles.
