npub1hpcdfjpxrawnmu6ryh36ce7xu4qd54pu6xca394yhvmyzlery0tqvghjn3 (npub1hpc…hjn3) The IWW is really not very relevant in US history after the mid-1920s (it has less than 9,000 members today). But, yes, unions *can* be more like the IWW—but in the US, tho unions have done lots of good things, the powerful ones (e.g., auto-maker unions) were often (not always) protectionist, anti-imm, even racist & anti-women to varying degrees in the 20th C.

So while the IWW shows the possibilities of unions, it doesn't negate my question about unions & protectionism in Europe?
