Detailed explanation-1: -The Knights of Labor was an exceptionally progressive organization for its day. Most earlier unions restricted membership to skilled laborers (those with specialized training in a craft) and to white men. Led by Terence V. Powderly, the Knights welcomed unskilled, semi-skilled, and skilled workers into their ranks.
Detailed explanation-2: -IWW ideology combines general unionism with industrial unionism, as it is a general union, subdivided between the various industries which employ its members. The philosophy and tactics of the IWW are described as “revolutionary industrial unionism", with ties to socialist, syndicalist, and anarchist labor movements.
Detailed explanation-3: -The IWW’s leader was “Big Bill” Haywood. The IWW supported striking workers in Akron, Ohio’s rubber industry during a strike in 1913. Most Americans during this era were not sympathetic to strikes, and Akron residents proved to be no different.
Detailed explanation-4: -Among the founders of the IWW were William D. (“Big Bill”) Haywood of the Western Federation of Miners (WFM), Daniel De Leon of the Socialist Labor Party, and Eugene V. Debs of the Socialist Party.
