You want to join the IWW? ....well it might not be as hard as you thought. Just read the info below.

The IWW is a democratic, member-run union. Decisions about what issues to address and what tactics to pursue are made by the workers directly involved - not by any officials. We have only one (Modestly) paid officer the General Secretary Treasurer of the unions international. The Australian Regional Orgainising Committee (R.O.C.) office bearers are all volunteers. Policy decisions are made by referendum by the entire membership. Any officer can be recalled at any time by referendum. Dues are kept to a minimum so there are no barriers to membership , a low income or unemployed worker can join for as little as $8.

When you join the union you pay an initiation fee. This is the same as one month's dues and covers basic costs of joining (card, bookwork et cetera). Our dues are calculated according to your income. If you monthly income is:

	Less than $1500 (AU), dues are $4 per month;
	Between $1500 - $2000 (AU), dues are $10 per month;
	Greater than $2000 (AU), dues are $15 per month.

Payment methods

You may pay as many months dues in advance as you wish, but please do not send partial payments. If you round up, your remainder will be considered a donation.

Make a date to see your delegate and keep in touch we are a union about people and only through constant communication can we build solidarity and trust.

You can pay by money order or cheque through the post. Make it out to "IWW". Please no cash! We might not get it if Australia post finds it.

For those of you wishing to pay your dues direct you can deposit into our bank account Commonfilth Bank Industrial Workers of the World or IWW is sufficient BSB 063224 10047639. Notify the ROC with the date and amount you deposit and we will correlate it with the bank statements. If paying on line please put dues and your initials or some other method of identification (such as membership number) in the subject box.
