Use the four criteria mentioned in the introduction of this chapter to evaluate the strength of a labor organization and discuss why the AFL survived and the IWW faded into obscurity.
How does iww compare to afl and cio?
The IWW is a much smaller labor union than the AFL-CIO, but is often more principled from a class-consciousness standpoint. While the AFL-CIO is often willing to compromise and collaborate with the capitalist system, the IWW is a regular critic of capitalism and (though not explicitly political) has leanings toward anarcho-syndicalism and socialism, along with their philosophy of "One Big Union". Historically, the AFL excluded non-whites and women from their union in the early 20th century, while the IWW welcomed people of color and women.

Can you be in unison and iww?
Yes you can. Most IWW members are 'dual carders', being both members of the IWW and their industry specific trade union. While the IWW are cool with this, Unison bosses (and many of the mainstream union bosses) are certainly not, and there have been witch hunts in the past to expell know radicald from Unison. Don't let that deter you though, just don't go round shouting about your IWW membership to the Unison leadership! With membership on the rapid rise, and groups of IWW workers winning some decent vocitories, there's never been a better time to join the One Big Union!

Why did unions connected to the American Federation of Labor not help the Lawrence garment workers?
Back then, the American Federation of Labor (AFL) was a very conservative union. Its predominantly male members and leadership did not believe that immigrant females were good candidates to become union members, nor did they believe that calling a mill-workers strike was a winnable strategy. Thus, the AFL made little effort to reach out or to help when the workers went on strike in 1912. But another union, the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) did reach out, and they were the ones who successfully organized the majority of the women and girls who worked in the mills; the IWW helped the Lawrence mill-workers to win their struggle for better wages and working conditions.
