Call for Submissions: Fifth Estate's special issue on Wobblies & Work
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). Fifth Estate will be joining in this centenary celebration by dedicating its Fall issue to the topic of Wobblies and Work.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). The IWW is the oldest anti-capitalist trade union federation in history. Their mission, the abolition of the wage system, still holds today; their practice of justice and fairness and their commitment to worker empowerment serves as a model for all trade unions.
Fifth Estate will be joining in this centenary celebration by dedicating its Fall issue to the topic of Wobblies and Work.
We are looking for original articles on the history of the IWW, as well as articles that address the contemporary international radical labor milieu. Submissions of art and images are always welcome. Possible topics include work and anti-work, the unethical nature of the Protestant work ethic, the right to be lazier, proletarian lifestyles, sub-proletarian subcultures, underemployment, unemployment, workers comp scams, workplace sabotage, shopfloor shenanigans, lockouts, factory occupations, slackers, and hobos. We also want to hear about the worst job you ever had and how great it was to quit.
Feature articles and essays: 1500-4000 words
News, reviews, and reports: 800 words
DEADLINE for PROPOSALS: June 1
DEADLINE for FIRST DRAFTS: June 15
