Why join the IWW?

Who can join the IWW?

As long as you are a worker — not an employer — you can join the IWW. Members of other unions (except officers), students, retirees, the unemployed, the self-employed, those in informal professions, and those unable to work may also join. Learn why you should join the IWW.

Dues

You select your dues level based on your self-reported current monthly income. Your first month as a member will include an initiation fee that is the equivalent of your dues rate. A breakdown of our current dues rate can be found below, as well as on page twenty-six of the IWW's constitution.

• $6 — if you are financially burdened by unemployment, underemployment, being a student, or other circumstances
• $11 — if you make less than $2,000 per month
• $22 — if you make between $2,000 and $3,500 per month
• $33 — if you make more than $3,500 per month

Getting online with us & coming to meetings After becoming a member, we encourage you to come to a Boston new member orientation (online) or meet with a branch delegate.
