There are two main tendencies in response to this that have recurred throughout the organization's history:
1) let's get serious and just become a union
2) let's give up on actual unionization and become a leftist group
Neither one works. I've written about this before: the IWW has only survived because it's a union, and the only reason for it to exist is as a leftist group. A mixed existence is the only existence it can have.

In response to this postBut for the part of it that is a union to function as a union in the US, it has to finally aim at goals that US law proscribes for unions. Its activity does not work otherwise.

@richpuchalsky This does not leave IWW looking like a useful org?
