supported a worker-led campaign which would ultimately become the first ever federally-recognized union in the U.S. fast food industry.
Ah, the Burgerville drama.
This decision upended a perceived tradition within the IWW of not pursuing contracts with employers
That’s a bit of a misrepresentation, as what I remember “traditionalists” got up in arms about was a tradition of not pursuing contracts containing no-strike clauses, which undermines the IWW’s direct action approach as opposed to business unions who are all too happy to support no-strike clauses.
I generally ignore GEB drama and was unaware of the rest of the situation, so it’s an interesting read.
