The more sedate AFL-CIO has more than 13 million members, but they to my knowledge have never been named a subversive organization by the US Gov't. In my view that means IWW is the union we should be focused on supporting. Not only is it a radical group but it is international in scope which is where we need to focus given the reach of global capital. The owners are international, and unions must meet that power head on.
