The International Workers Alliance of Rank-and-File Committees
Join a rank-and-file committee!

There are now rank-and-file committees of autoworkers, educators, Amazon and logistics workers, postal workers, bus drivers, and many other sections of the working class.

Rank-and-file committees are of, by and for the rank-and-file workers, who have a different set of interests than management, the bosses, the politicians, and the trade union apparatus, who oppress workers in order to defend the profits of the ruling elite.

Contact us now to join a committee. If there is not already a committee in your workplace, industry or region, we will help you start one!
