What is the state of the Spokane branch?
I've decided to join the IWW but I haven't been able to contact my nearest branch (Spokane) as their email does not work. Is this a technical issue or is there something else going on?

Utah branch
I joined the IWW about a month ago, and I've come to find out that the state of Utah do not have a branch. I have taken it upon myself to contact as many people as I know personally and introduce them to the IWW. I am trying to recruit everywhere honestly, social media, my place of employment, friends and family. I really believe in the idea of national unionization, and I want as many people to join as possible so we can hopefully eventually organize a real general strike in response to the current US administration.
I know that I can contact the membership email, but honestly, I'm a little impatient. So this is my attempt to find any other members in Utah, or even just other members that have any advice or anything.

Why has the IWW softened it's stance on the AFL-CIO over the years?
Hey I am a someone thinking about joining coming in peace, I just have some questions.
I’ve been a warehouse worker at UPS for years and a member of the Teamsters (I know the IBT isn’t part of the AFL-CIO). Over the years, I’ve become increasingly disillusioned with business unionism. IBT leaders make triple my salary, yet often don’t show up at my warehouse for months, and the stewards are rarely present as well, even though my local is led by TDU, which is supposed to be the more progressive caucus of the IBT. I am still a firm believer in unions and their potential power for workers so I have been researching and looking into joining the IWW. Of course as anyone interested in unions I know about the storied history of the IWW and the strikes it waged in the first few decades of the 1900s. Reading texts from the early IWW and many of it's legendary leaders has kept my belief in unions high despite my frustrations. Especially their sharp critiques of the AFL and work to build the IWW as a genuine radical union for workers.
When I began to think and look into actually joining the IWW, I was surprised to see that the IWW has a considerably softer approach to the AFL-CIO today. I'm not saying that the IWW doesn't continue to uphold anti-capitalism, industrial unionism, worker led shopfloor organizations and the general strike in contrast to the business unions. However, from my experiences in conversating with my local chapters members generally they critique in private and stand in solidarity in public with the business unions. Many of the IWW members even participated in local worker led study groups held by the AFL-CIO in their local offices. A good number even told me how excited they were when the Teamsters and UPS announced their new contract a few years ago, one that I generally was opposed to. This to me felt like a much different approach from the old IWW which constantly critiqued the AFL as a dead end for workers.
Again I'm not saying the IWW has abandoned it's principles and it's very likely I will join the IWW, but I am curious why it has seemed to soften it's approach and be more generally collaborative than combative to the business unions? Is this just the better strategy for the current conditions? Has business unionism changed compared to the days of old? Is my understanding of the old IWW wrong?
