I do think that the IWW should work to become a less poor, i.e. wealthier, organization by really doing some focused fundraising. If folks in the union put their minds to it we could probably raise about $100k.

IWW organizing is very cheap because we keep the costs very low. If we compare IWW organizing to many other organizations, we get a value of organizing much higher than we actually pay.

I don't care if it's cash in organizer's pockets and rotate them, or if it's houses to stay in, etc. My reading of history is poor organizations cannot sustain themselves. So much of what is accomplished by the Leninists of various stripes is being financed by high levels of dues. Of course in the old days money from Moscow also helped.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805016938432704314noreply@blogger.com
