The Whatcom-Skagit Branch of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW, commonly called ‘Wobblies’ or ‘Wobs’) is organized to help workers gain their rights and more power in their workplaces, form unions that are member-controlled, to support one another in our efforts, and to spread solidarity around the region. Our branch was chartered by the IWW General Administration in January, 2015.

IWW is a dues-paying, membership controlled union and solidarity organization. Dues are low and based on income. All workers are urged to join us, one-by-one or by the whole shop. See the Join IWW page to learn about membership. We especially seek food service and retail workers to join us and help spread our organization into those industries.
