IWW Sheffield Branch launch meeting
Mon 4 Jul 2011, 7pm, Bath Hotel, Victoria St (just off West St.)
The IWW (International Workers of the World) is a radical, grassroots union that can trace its history back to 1905, and has a membership all over the globe, from Chicago to Paris to Tyneside. As well as being a union in its own right, it also welcomes those who are members of other unions and has a long productive history of dual card membership, allowing trade unionists to connect with others, across the labour movement.
At this meeting the aim is to discuss the direction that the branch should take, the best way it can support its members and the skills that all have to share. This meeting will bring together experienced trade unionists and those just starting out in the labour movement who may just need help at work. They will also be looking to elect branch officers, so please come, have your say and get involved, it's a membership run and directed union which needs your opinion. Even if you're just interested in coming down and listening in, you are more than welcome.
IWW Skill Sharing: giving you the knowledge to protect ourself & others at work.
Tue 5 and Wed 6 Jul 2011, 12-5pm, Rutland Arms, 86 Brown St. S1 2BS (near Showroom Cinema)
Two days of training, equipping you with the skills to protect yourself and your fellow workers, covering workplace law and the best ways to organise at work.

As a grassroots organisation, IWW has always been dedicated to supplying open training, for the membership at large, not just a handful of representatives. These sessions aren't just for those new to the labour movement, but also those who may simply want to help our or brush up. The classes will be led by tutors from around the country, with a variety of experiences. Food and drink are available throughout the event.
