1910's- International Workers of the World

In 1905 the International Workers of the World (IWW) was founded in order to fight for the rights of Union Workers. The union known as the Wobblies was made up of mostly of immigrant workers from Europe. Their motto was "an injury to one is an injury to all." In 1910 companies started using machines more and more and workers were losing their jobs because the machines were faster and more efficient. Workers needed these unions in order to keep their jobs and the unions were able to keep their jobs even with the technological advances because it used the age old theory "strength in numbers".
