Birdy, my grandfather was a Wobbly, too!

Although founded and most prominent in the US, the IWW was active in some other countries, including Australia, where my grandfather was active in the Melbourne chapter during the First World War.

For all the information you could possibly want about my grandfather, Percy Laidler, see Solidarity Forever! the life & times of Percy Laidler, another website that I run.
