Day laborers in and around Olympia are finding it a little easier to get to work these days thanks to the Industrial Workers of the World. The Olympia IWW has launched a new organizing drive among day laborers centered around a beat up old red van. The van itself belongs to an old Olympia wobbly, the insurance has been paid by the local Unitarian Universalist church and the day-to-day expenses are paid for by donations from the workers getting transportation and from the Oly General Membership Branch of the IWW.
