The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW or the Wobblies) is an international union currently head quartered in Chicago, Illinois, USA. Today it is actively organizing. IWW membership does not require that one work in a represented workplace, nor does it exclude membership in another labor union.

The IWW contends that all workers should be united within a single union as a class and the wage system abolished. They may be best known for the Wobbly Shop model of workplace democracy, in which workers elect recallable delegates, and other forms of grass roots democracy (self-management) are implemented.

The Gainesville IWW usually meets on the 1st Sunday of every month at the Civic Media Center at 7:00pm.
