Once a member, I've grown quietly dismissive of recent IWW campaigns (particularly on the east coast... The west coast has accomplished some substantive shit, for sure). Most of the folks I know in the union resemble very little in the way of a departure from your average Civil War re-enactor; lovelorn for an era and a tactical format that breathes in the Postwar US the way a trout breathes on a river bank.
Nonetheless, this is an encouraging blow to the PR machine of an entity whose odiousness is only surpassed by its own ubiquity. My hat's off to you, brothers and sisters. DC folks may notice that a member of a certain, sorely-missed dance-punk trio had a hand in the Post's coverage of the campaign.
And while we're at it, abrazos to the Immokalee Workers in their second big win of recent years.
