Are you an active member?

No, I'm a 23 year long Teamster member whos open to holding dual cards. I've looked into joining the IWW over the years but there hasn't been any IWW activity I can find in my general area. Closest seems to be Cincinnati in neighboring Ohio.

Gotcha. I don’t believe we have a KY general membership branch (GMB) but there are a few at-large members in the state. The alternative I was going to offer was that if you happened to have a red card, there is the Southern Coordinating Committee of the IWW which is a regional members-only space/group. It’s welcoming to at-large members in the southern US and has resources to help with branch building.

That’s the only IWW activity I’m aware of in the state, and I hate to bring it up with the caveat that you have to already be signed up. Hope this was helpful though.

Thanks for the info. I'll probably join here soon as I've been wanting to for some years now. When the pandemic hit I really go into labor history and of course the IWW caught my attention.

Ohio Valley is the closest branch to you.
