The answer is the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). Their members are usually labelled as "Wobblies". This is an international labor union that was started in 1905 in Chicago, Illinois in the United States of America. This was headed by William D. "Big Bill" Haywood; the IWW was successfully destroyed during WWI when most of its leaders were imprisoned for conspiracy because of their militant disapproval to the war.
