An injury to one is an injury to all
- An injury to one is an injury to all
An injury to one is an injury to all is a motto popularly used by the Industrial Workers of the World who are also known as the "Wobblies." In his autobiography, Bill Haywood credited David C. Coates with suggesting a slogan for the IWW: "an injury to one is an injury to all".[William Dudley Haywood,The Autobiography of Big Bill Haywood, 1929, pp. 186.] The slogan has since been used by a number of labor organizations. The slogan reflects the fact that the IWW was "One Big Union" and organized skilled and unskilled workers. Despite the reduced number of organized Wobblies today, the slogan is still a popular one used by the Wobblies.
