The Union · NYC General Membership Branch

Run by its members.
Nobody else.

The IWW NYC General Membership Branch is part of One Big Union of all workers. Here's how we work, how we decide, and how to plug in.

Who we are

What we are — and what we're not

      How we decide

      Directly democratic

      Every member has a say in branch decisions — there's no leadership cutting deals over your head. At meetings we follow a simple procedure called Rusty's Rules. You don't have to know it to take part; it just keeps things fair and moving.

      Branch meets the 2nd Wednesday of every month · 7–9 PM

      Why join

      If you can't hire and fire, you can join.

      Dues are a sliding scale by income, starting at $6/month. The union is yours to run.
