"The actions of the marshals enabled the arrests. It is important that public marches be open to all who wish to participate without fear of state harassment, repression, and persecution. Above all, no one should be singled out for arrest based on their residency status—especially at a march against deportations. Given the historical legacy of May Day, it is crucial that anti-authoritarian and dissenting voices not be silenced by the state or its collaborators. If organizers expect broad participation at marches in the future, they must ensure that marshals do not aid in arrests and that solidarity with anyone who may be arrested is allowed. The IWW will always stand by the principle that an injury to one is an injury to all."

Fellow Workers,

The 2014 IWW Labor History Calendar focuses upon low-wage workers’ organizing, with 13 photos covering workers’ struggles from 1909 to 2013, including a protest march by Bangladeshi garment workers days after the largest industrial “accident” in that industry’s sordid history. We have added several new notes commemorating important dates in labor history from around the world, and an essay that reflects on recent struggles by low-wage workers for safer conditions and a living wage.

This year's calendar is published in cooperation with the Greater Kansas City General Membership Branch, which will be filling orders. The calendar is union-printed by a worker-owned cooperative, bearing the Allied Printing Trades and IWW union labels.

Copies are US$12 each, post-paid, or $6.50 each for 5 or more copies mailed to the same address. (please add $2 for overseas postage). Ask for discounted rates for 25 or more copies.
