IWW sticker, 1910s

The One Big Union was an idea in the late 19th and early 20th centuries amongst trade unionists to unite the interests of workers and offer solutions to all labour problems.

Unions initially organized as craft unions. Workers were organized by their skill: carpenters, plumbers, bricklayers, each into their respective unions. Capitalists could often divide craft unionists along these lines in demarcation disputes. As capitalist enterprises and state bureaucracies became more centralized and larger, some workers felt that their institutions needed to become similarly large. A simultaneous disenchantment with the perceived weakness of craft unions caused many unions to organize along industrial lines. The idea of the "one big union" is championed by anarchist syndicalists to organize effectively.

As envisioned by the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), which for many years prior to 1919 had been associated with the concept,Vorlage:Sfn One Big Union was not just the idea that all workers should be organized into one big union. In the 1911 pamphlet One Big Union, IWW supporters Thomas J. Hagerty and William Trautmann enumerated two goals: One Big Union needed to "combine the wage-workers in such a way that it can most successfully fight the battles and protect the interests of the workers of today in their struggles for fewer hours of toil, more wages and better conditions," and it also "must offer a final solution of the labor problem – an emancipation from strikes, injunctions, bull-pens, and scabbing of one against the other."Vorlage:Sfn

One Big Union was the notional organizational concept, while the IWW's revolutionary industrial unionism was the organizing method by which that concept could be realized. "Organizing the One Big Union of all workers the world over" was meant to achieve "working class control".[1] But the One Big Union organizations were resisted by government and industry, and subverted by existing trade unions. By 1925, only the slogan of One Big Union remained.Vorlage:Citation needed

One Big Union in practice

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) adopted and promoted the concept of the One Big Union after the publication of the One Big Union pamphlet in 1911; the IWW continues to use the phrase.Vorlage:Sfn Members of the IWW historically, and currently, signed and sign letters (and other communications) with the closing, "Yours for the O.B.U."Vorlage:Sfn Many commentators regard One Big Union as synonymous with the Industrial Workers of the World.Vorlage:Sfn One of the popular IWW publications was called One Big Union Monthly.Vorlage:Sfn

The IWW promoted the One Big Union concept in various ways, including as an invitation to racial equality. One IWW leaflet proclaimed:

To Colored Workingmen and Women: If you are a wage worker you are welcome in the I.W.W. halls, no matter what your color. By this you may see that the I.W.W. is not a white man's union, not a black man's union, not a red or yellow man's union, but a working man's union. All of the working class in one big union.Vorlage:Sfn

The IWW used the same sort of arguments to welcome women into the workforce.Vorlage:Sfn The appeal subsequently proclaimed the intent to organize "all wage workers ... into One Big Union, regardless of creed, color, or nationality ... An injury to one is an injury to all."Vorlage:Sfn The One Big Union idea had the immediate goals of better pay, shorter hours, and better surroundings.Vorlage:Sfn The IWW propagandized, "Organize in one big union and fight for a chance to live as human beings should live. All together now and victory will be ours."Vorlage:Sfn

Founding organizations

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

In North America, the most significant early impetus for the One Big Union concept came from the Western Federation of Miners (WFM) which was headquartered in Denver, Colorado. The WFM and its allies first launched the Western Labor Union (WLU). The Western Labor Union was initially intended to displace the conservative American Federation of Labor (AFL) in the West. The WLU's rebranding in 1902 as the American Labor Union (ALU)Vorlage:Sfn was a direct response to actions by (AFL) President Samuel Gompers.

The WFM and the ALU then cooperated to found the IWW. The IWW was conceived as a global union with the goal of organizing the entire world. The concept of One Big Union, growing out of the IWW's revolutionary program, evolved over a period of time:

[I]n moving toward revolutionary industrial unionism, Denver's labor radicals were not building from scratch; rather, they drew upon and elaborated ideas and strategies generated by the previous twenty years of Denver's labor history ... [A]lthough the labor wars of 1903–4 may have triggered the formation of the IWW, the ideological synthesis it would uphold had been worked out in the American Labor Union's[lower-alpha 1] leadership by the summer of 1903 ...Vorlage:Sfn

The WFM had been founded as a conservative trade union after a bitter and violent strike in Coeur d'Alene in 1892. The WFM conducted a successful strike in Cripple Creek in 1894, notable for the exceedingly rare intervention of the state on the side of the striking miners. But the strike which some historians believe shaped the philosophy and tactics of the WFM, and which ultimately resulted in the WFM embracing revolutionary industrial unionism and the eventual promulgation of the One Big Union concept, occurred against mine owners in Leadville. Out of that struggle came the November 1897 proclamation of the State Trades and Labor Council of Montana, a document which broke with the past – declaring that "the old form of organization is unable to cope with the recent aggressions of plutocracy" – and called for a new type of labour organization.Vorlage:Sfn

The WFM wasn't that organization. It had poured resources into the Leadville strike, and yet was defeated.Vorlage:Sfn Additional resources which had been promised by the AFL were not provided.Vorlage:Sfn The solution was organizing western labourers and western unions into a new umbrella-like federationVorlage:Sfn (i.e., the WLU, the ALU, and eventually, the IWW). These conclusions represented "an absolute rejection" of the AFL, of its conservative philosophy and its complacent demeanour.Vorlage:Sfn

But the WFM did undergo substantial changes. In contrast to the AFL, the WFM,

... opened itself to all potential members and also to ideas and values in conflict with Capitalism. It accepted any member of a bona fide union without initiation fee upon presentation of a valid union card. It demanded neither a closed shop nor an exclusive employment contract. It sought jobs for all, not merely the organized and highly skilled few.Vorlage:Sfn

Members of the WFM "... saw no advantage to huddling within their traditional crafts; they sought to mobilize all workers across a given industry to confront employers – and governments – with their aggregate clout. With little stake in the status quo, they invested their faith in sweeping political programs to remedy the grim conditions in which they worked and lived."Vorlage:Sfn

In 1905, WFM leaders initiated a meeting of thirty prominent socialists and labour radicals in Chicago. This group analysed industrial and social relations from the revolutionary viewpoint and drafted a manifesto. Enumerating labour's grievances, it criticized craft unions for creating a skilled aristocracy, and suggested "one big industrial union" embracing all industries and "founded on the class struggle". Printed in great quantities, this invitation to the first convention of the IWW was sent around the country.Vorlage:Sfn

The One Big Union concept grows

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

The IWW organized in the United States, Canada, Australia, and other countries, employed creative tactics, and advocated the general strike as a favourite method for workers to gain control of industries. But One Big Union spread far beyond the IWW. The revolutionary character of the OBU can be appreciated from a statement by the Brotherhood of Metal Workers' Industrial Union, a 1909 offshoot of the International Association of Machinists. In 1919, this organization published the following,

The workers, not only of America, but of all countries, are determined to get the full value of the price they paid and will yet pay. There can be no peace until the workers not only control, but also own, the means of life, liberty, and happiness. To accomplish this, it necessitates the ownership of all industries by a government of workers, for the workers, which can and will be accomplished by the One Big Union.[2]

Also in 1919, the International Federation of Workers in the Hotel, Restaurant, Lunchroom, Club and Catering Industry (IFWHRLC) called upon its members to terminate any AFL memberships and was judged by investigators, on the basis of an explanation of industrial unionism in the Hotel Worker, one of its publications, to be a "revolutionary organization based upon the One Big Union principle, having for its objective the establishment of a new social order and the seizure of industry."Vorlage:Sfn The Hotel Worker stated, in part:

Under industrial unionism, all the Workers in one industry form One Big Union of that industry.

Instead of being split up into a lot of separate units, with divided and often conflicting interests, they strengthen and unite their forces in one mighty and irresistible combination.[3]

The Journeymen Bakers' and Confectioners' International Union of America (JBCIUA) came under suspicion for hosting a delegation of the IWW, and for forming a committee to explore a merger with the IFWHRLC.Vorlage:Sfn Investigators concluded that such events confirmed "the organization of One Big Union along I. W. W. lines to control all the workers in the food industry in this state, as well as in the greater part of the country."Vorlage:Sfn Cognizant of repression of the period that came to be called the Red Scare, the JBCIUA passed a resolution which stated, in part, "... that our best friends and Vorlage:Not a typo are being Vorlage:Not a typo by the capitalistic system, in the present period of worst reaction, and have been thrown into jail for long terms."Vorlage:Sfn

In 1919 in the United States the newly formed Communist Labor Party (CLP) sought to attach itself to the One Big Union movement, and to industrial unionism. The CLP urged all its members to join industrial unions.Vorlage:Sfn The IWW concluded that the Russian revolution and local communist activities had a divisive effect on the general anti-capitalist movement, but this effect was not immediately apparent.Vorlage:Sfn

In 1919 in Canada, unionists who were discontent with policies of the Trades and Labour Congress of the Dominion formed a union called "One Big Union" (OBU).Vorlage:Sfn The Canadian OBU movement had been inspired by the IWW,Vorlage:Sfn and like the IWW,Vorlage:Citation needed it favoured the general strike.Vorlage:Sfn The concept of One Big Union in western Canada did not gain widespread acceptance until the Western Labor News reported that the idea had been adopted by the Australian Workers International Industrial Union in South Melbourne, Australia.Vorlage:Sfn That Australian workers' organization went beyond industrial unionism to advocate the abolition of private ownership of the means of production.Vorlage:Sfn Because of recent history in Western Canada, an increasing acceptance of industrial unionism accompanied a growing appreciation of the general strike, and the need for an OBU to call it.Vorlage:Sfn A mood of militancy had been growing in Western Canada for some time.Vorlage:Sfn

The OBU spread rapidly in Canada. Lodges, trades councils, and provincial federations withdrew from their international organizations, and joined the OBU, culminating in a membership of nearly fifty thousand the first year.Vorlage:Sfn The OBU also generated considerable support for dual affiliation. This incarnation of the OBU movement was also attacked by mainstream labour, in the person of John L. LewisVorlage:Sfn and other AFL officials.

The One Big Union organization in Canada differed structurally from the IWW. While the IWW organized on industrial lines, the OBU of Canada focused more on organizing workers geographically.Vorlage:Sfn The absence of an existing industrial union structure within the Canadian OBU resulted in the defection of 20,000 members of the Lumber Workers Industrial Union (LWIU). According to the 1922 publication Industrial Unionism in America, "Their withdrawal was a staggering blow from which the O. B. U. [never] recovered."Vorlage:Sfn

When the IWW in the United States was suppressed during the Red Scare and the Palmer Raids, there was pressure to similarly attack Canada's One Big Union movement:

The movement was got well under way with a basis of I.W.W. and Socialist support; Calgary was a centre of the movement as it had been in the Alberta mining unrest of these years. So obvious was the current of thought that the Calgary Herald of Sept. 6th struck a warning note: "There is an element in Western Canada that is somewhat akin to the I.W.W. if not actually affiliated with and controlled by it. Let the I.W.W. of Canada or their imitators, beware lest the strong hand of the law does not stretch out and grasp them as it has their friends on the other side of the 49th parallel. There is a feeling throughout the country that it would be better for all concerned if a few of them were behind the bars."Vorlage:Sfn

The Canadian government imprisoned the most prominent members of the Canadian OBU.Vorlage:Sfn

The One Big Union movement was organized in Australia.Vorlage:Sfn The concept was initially considered in 1908, when the idea of adopting the preamble of the Industrial Workers of the World was voted upon by the New South Wales Trade Union Congress,Vorlage:Sfn and the first concrete step toward one big union was adopted in 1912.Vorlage:Sfn In 1917, George Beeby, the labour minister for the New South Wales government, said in a speech,

... an important conference of Trade Unionists was held in Sydney to further the idea of one big union. The men responsible for that gathering openly said that their object was to get the Unionists formed into a one big union organisation which, at any time, by the proclamation of a general strike, could stop all production and transport, and force from any government in office whatever concessions were demanded. ... The men at the head of this movement are in favour of direct action as against political action ... With consummate skill the men who initiated this idea have got possession of the whole Labour movement.Vorlage:Sfn

An organization called the One Big Union Propaganda League (OBUPL) was formed in Brisbane on 10 September 1918, growing out of former IWW strongholds in the north.Vorlage:Sfn With help from IWW members, the OBUPL gained considerable support from the rank and file of craft unions, emphasizing job control and bottom-up organizing.Vorlage:Sfn

Australian trade union officials, succeeded in changing the character of the OBU from that envisioned by the IWW, and also by the Workers' International Industrial Union (WIIU), a group that had split off from the IWW, and was active in Australia. The One Big Union movement ceased to challenge capitalism in Australia, but rather sought to function within capitalism; it evolved from an industrial to a craft basis; it developed into a top-down bureaucracy. By 1924 the Australian OBU ceased to be viable.Vorlage:Sfn

In 1927, the Australian Council of Trade Unions was established as an attempt to establish a One Big Union.[4]

Relationship with mainstream unions

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

The goal of the IWW – as interpreted by government investigators in 1920 – was "to break up the system of craft or trade unions, and to organize workers into One Big Union having subdivisions along the lines of industry, rather than those of trade."Vorlage:Sfn That interpretation appears to have been accepted by American Federation of Labor Gompers who in 1922 expressed his belief that the One Big Union idea was designed primarily to put the American Federation of Labor out of business.[5]Vorlage:Full citation needed Gompers undermined any labour actions that he perceived might be related to the One Big Union movement; for example, the Winnipeg General StrikeVorlage:Sfn and the Seattle General Strike.[6]Vorlage:Failed verification A 1919 editorial in Revolutionary Age, the official organ of the Left Wing Section of the Socialist Party,Vorlage:Sfn proclaimed:

The union bureaucrats are particularly against industrial unionism, since industrial unionism ends craft divisions and craft disputes, which constitute the power of the union bureaucracy. In Canada, the One Big Union – Industrial Unionism – has captured the imagination of the organized workers. The One Big Union directed the great general strike in Canada; but, says an observer, "the International Brotherhoods have come out against the strikers, shrewdly foreseeing in the One Big Union the destruction of their organization." This is a damning indictment of the old unionism.[6]

In June 1919, the American Federation of Labor (AFL), in session in Atlantic City, New Jersey, passed resolutions in general opposition to the general strike. The official report of these proceedings described the convention as the "largest and in all probability the most important Convention ever held" by the organization, in part for having engineered the "overwhelming defeat of the so-called Radical element" via crushing a 'One Big Union' proposition and a proposal for a nationwide general strike, both by a vote of more than 20 to 1."[7] The AFL amended its constitution to disallow any central labour union (i.e., regional labour councils) from "taking a strike vote without prior authorization of the national officers of the union concerned."[7] The change was intended to "check the spread of general strike sentiment and prevent recurrences of what happened at Seattle and is now going on at Winnipeg."[7] The penalty for any unauthorized strike vote was revocation of that body's charter.[7]

In 1919 the Lusk Committee, charged with exposing and stamping out radicalism of all types, issued a report that found the AFL to be "free from the taint of revolutionary radicalism." It found one AFL affiliate, the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union (ILGWU), to have "marked radical tendencies ... it is founded upon the principles of class struggle ... it adopts the One Big Union idea and seeks to bring about the overthrow of society."Vorlage:Sfn

One Big Union Canada also came under considerable pressure from the Canadian Trades and Labour Congress and the AFL.Vorlage:Sfn The United Mine Workers (UMW), in particular, came to an agreement with employers to freeze out the Canadian One Big Union.Vorlage:Sfn

In June 1919, the UMW revoked the charter of District 18, which included Alberta and British Columbia, for joining the OBU. The UMW International persuaded a number of locals to return to the parent organization. The UMW then came to an agreement with employers which would effectively lock out the OBU. With One Big Union seen as the greater threat, employers agreed to require UMW membership on the part of all employees in and around the mines. The companies implemented the dues checkoff to seal the new agreement.Vorlage:Sfn

OBU members refused to work under circumstances where they were assessed dues for an organization to which they no longer belonged, and a number of mines organized by the OBU were therefore closed down. The OBU sought relief from the courts, but the courts sided with the United Mine Workers and the employers. The employers and the UMW then together secured injunctions against any OBU members to prevent any interference with UMW miners. The O.B.U. Bulletin for 23 October 1920 reported that the UMW had thirteen such injunctions issued, and had set aside a million dollars to fight the OBU.Vorlage:Sfn The Canadian OBU concluded that "Officials of the U.M.W. of A. are the same bunch of crooks who have so often betrayed the miners of the U.S. in their struggles and strikes at the instance of their government and the owners."Vorlage:Sfn The OBU felt particularly angry that the UMW invoked the aid of both the employers and a "ruthless capitalist government" in order to crush a rival union organization.Vorlage:Sfn

The One Big Union organizations adopted some principles of One Big Union as initially promoted by the IWW. The OBU idea became popular in Australia at a time when some syndicalist-leaning labour leaders had started moving toward communism.Vorlage:Sfn

Although the One Big Union organizations frequently formed with the help of IWW members or members of IWW offshoot-organizations such as the WIIU, the OBU organizations frequently incurred criticism from the original industrial union organizations.Vorlage:Sfn The IWW advocated organizing bottom-up, the OBU in Australia operated increasingly top-down. The IWW advocated job control, the Australian OBU did not.Vorlage:Sfn Shop committees and rank and file participation which had been so important to IWW members were de-emphasized.Vorlage:Sfn The OBU in Australia was described as "the plum extracted from the IWW cake to keep down discontent among the dupes".Vorlage:Sfn

The Industrial Union News of the WIIU criticized the structure of the Canadian One Big Union organization, declaring "the O.B.U. seeks to masquerade under the guise of industrial unionism while organized on a territorial plane, without sound foundations and building from the top down".Vorlage:Sfn The Industrial Union News also criticized the Canadian OBU for not providing for elections of officials by the entire membership.Vorlage:Sfn The OBU was described as "not red but pale pink", and in league with the "reactionary Socialist Party of Canada".Vorlage:Sfn

The IWW publication Solidarity of 10 July 1920 stated that labour fakirs had seized control of the OBU, and had organized new branches of the OBU in the United States in opposition to the IWW.Vorlage:Sfn

Marian Dutton Savage, who published a book on industrial unionism in 1922, saw problems with the organizational structure of the Canadian OBU:

In neglecting to give adequate recognition to the ties binding workers of the same industry together and in seeking to rely instead on the general feeling of solidarity in the working class, the O. B. U., like the Knights of Labor, has failed to understand the psychology of those it has sought to win and hold. If it is difficult to make skilled and unskilled workers in the same industry realize their community of interest, it is doubly difficult to make those in different industries feel a strong bond of union. The I. W. W. has faced this fact and, unlike the O. B. U., seeks to unite all who work in an industry in one international union having a large measure of control over its own affairs. Although it preaches the brotherhood of all workers as ardently as does the O. B. U., it recognizes that each industry has its own particular problems which can best be solved by workers in that industry, and considers that loyalty to one industry need in no way impair loyalty to the I. W. W. or to the working class as a whole. If the O. B. U. had adopted the same course it would not have lost the strongest group which had affiliated with it.Vorlage:Sfn
