IWW Cyprus: Workers spend the majority of their daily lives in undemocratic workplaces

The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) is a global labor union that has been organizing in Cyprus since 2020.

The IWW is not trying to be friendly with employers and government, unlike traditional unions. The IWW is a horizontal organization that values transparency and full participation rights for all members. The IWW encourages workers to join traditional trade unions as well. In Cyprus, the IWW organizes all workers under one big union, unlike traditional federations divided by profession or sector. The IWW aims to prioritize organizing over mere mobilizing and believes in forming strong relationships with fellow workers.
