Industry must-haves for an Easier Work Life. It’s National Industrial Workers of the World Day and in celebration we’re going to run through the industry must haves to make your life lots easier, and safer!
The history of National Industrial Workers of the World Day 👷
This celebration shines the light on the unsung heroes of industry work. Founded in 1905 a group called ‘The Wobblies’ were an industrial labour union who believed all wage workers, of all races, genders and occupations, should unit to overthrow the capitalist system. They weren’t just a union, they were a large movement to unit all workers. ‘Imagine a world where your job didn’t keep you in a box’ – this was their goal.
We celebrate this day to remember the hard work, the victories and the sacrifices they made. From battles in the streets to the courage to stand up to higher power. This day reminds us of the power of unity.
