Abstract
Though the IWW was effectively incapacitated by government attacks and infighting following World War I, craft unionism—as opposed to industrial unionism—remained still very much alive. A craft or trade union organizes workers according to skill, e.g., electricians and carpenters each in their own union even though they may share a work site, while industrial unions, like the IWW, organize all workers at a workplace, everyone in one union, whether skilled or unskilled. The AFL, which represented mostly skilled craftsmen, claimed close to 3 million members throughout the 1920s.
