Today in Labor History June 3, 1913: IWW Marine Transport Workers Union in New Orleans continued their strike against United Fruit Company (now known as Chiquita) after wages were cut by five dollars per month. The strike, which started on June 2, turned deadly on June 13, when police opened fire on strikers trying to stop scabs from loading a ship, killing two of them. The IWW lost this strike. However, they were highly successful in other longshore strikes up and down the Eastern Seaboard. At this time, the IWW controlled all but 2 of the Philadelphia docks. Their multiracial union was led by Ben Fletcher, an African-American docker. Fletcher was also instrumental in organizing the Baltimore dockers.

Today in Labor History June 2, 1917: IWW Fifty IWW teamsters won a strike for higher wages and better conditions in Atkins, Iowa. On that same day, IWW macaroni workers called off their strike in Chicago due to interference by the AFL. And in Pittsburgh, also on this same day, Fifteen Wobblies were arrested on charges of conspiracy against the US and released.
Since 1905, we have been for the abolition of the wage system. We are a revolutionary labor union. Join the Tacoma IWW!
