A history of the Industrial Workers of the World's golden years as lived by one of its guiding lights.
Frank Little was a union organiser before becoming active in the Industrial Workers of the World international labour union in 1906. The IWW - better known as the Wobblies' - contended that workers should be united as a class, the wage system should be abolished and workers should have the power to elect their own managers. Always on Strike centres on Little's activities with the IWW and discusses the IWW's free speech actions, rebellions and suppression, as well as Little's assassination and the Wobbly conspiracy trials.'
