Wild. They don't seem to understand the meaning of "wear out your welcome". Glad I never gave them my mobile number. And my apologies for misunderstanding. B/c I've never had a phone call or text from ActBlue, I had it locked in my head that they communicate by email. Stupid me. :-(

no apologies necessary. public records will show my 4 fig donations were marianne williamson before she went full bernie, hillary clinton and harris. separately I will always give to the ufw when they call. always a wobbly. that does not make me ‘blue’ today nor give every ‘dem’ a right to text me.

Hunh, interesting ... I missed the resurgence of the IWW ... haven't seen a mention in ages. Wasn't even aware that the IWW is still a going concern. UFW, sure! In re "does not make me 'blue'", sure: plenty of reasons to be skeptical about the Dems.

no resurgence except in my heart — and maybe a few others. My grandfather was a contemporary Swedish immigrant to Joe Hill(strom). UFW most authentic successor to the IWW.

hunh ... wiki says that the IWW is still active. I had no idea ... I looked because (again) I thought you were saying something different: that you are a member! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industr...

well yes technically it is active. But its legacy is much bigger than current membership.

Sure - they're the only early union I know anything about (and precious little at that), but the wiki page says that they organized some Starbucks outlets in the aughts, and represent workers at a fast food chain (Burgerville) since then. But 5000-odd members is a shadow of their best years ...

Mildly surprised that the history dates back only to 1905. For some reason I thought that they were involved in the Pullman strikes, but no, that's Debs' ARU. And I thought I recognized the name "Joe Hill" ... I have Pete Seeger's recording on Smithsonian LPs ...
